I'm still working it out in my mind, so not sure I said it as eloquently as I'm thinking in my head. ;-) Thank you for your sweet sentiments!

It reminds me...in The Temple Experience (a book I referenced in the post), Wendy Ulrich proposes that when we meet the Savior he may not ask us what we've accomplished or who we have served, but rather "What do you want?" I find that so intriguing! And you're right...as we pursue our God-given desires we things just start to fall into place, bringing us closer to Christ. If you coach others, you would love Ulrich's book. I'm sure I've read that Holland talk before, but I'm going to find and read it again! Thank you so much for your thoughts! ;-) Juwmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552061828055045007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562876739838750262.post-70582917586853451012016-11-02T15:33:56.601-07:002016-11-02T15:33:56.601-07:00Beautiful article Julia, I've often wondered a...Beautiful article Julia, I've often wondered about this same question. Elder Holland discusses it a talk entitled "Come Unto Me". <br /><br />"When Andrew and Philip first heard Christ speak, they were so moved, so spellbound that they followed him as he left the crowd. Sensing that he was being pursued, Christ turned and asked the two men, “What seek ye?” (John 1:38). Other translations render that simply “What do you want?”<br /><br />They answered, “Where dwellest thou?” or “Where do you live?”<br /><br />And Christ said, “Come and see.” Just a short time later he formally called Peter and others of the new apostles with the same spirit of invitation, “Come, follow me” (see Matthew 4:19).<br /><br />It seems to me that the essence of our lives is distilled down to these two brief elements in these opening scenes of the Savior’s mortal ministry. One element is the question, to every one of us, “What seek ye? What do you want?” The second is his answer as to how to get that. Whoever we are, and whatever our problems, his response is always the same, forever: “Come unto me.'"<br /><br />In my work, I coach people on how to accomplish their dreams and almost always it comes back to living principles of the gospel. It's funny because I am noticing that as people pursue their dreams (their wants) they are becoming more like their Heavenly Father. danielralphshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364119489414474813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562876739838750262.post-20430352848281218312016-11-02T15:28:08.762-07:002016-11-02T15:28:08.762-07:00My first comment didn't post, so instead of re...My first comment didn't post, so instead of retyping it all, I just want you to know I loved this post.
