Step by Step - Spiritual/Paso por Paso - Espiritual

     Actually this is the part of our being that is the oldest part of us, having been spirit children of our Heavenly Parents before coming here by physical birth to our mortal parents. And sadly, this is the one that so many people nowadays struggle with for tons of reasons. Perhaps many struggle with this because they can't remember that previous life. But that is part of God's plan in order to teach us to learn to live by faith, but also, for us to learn to teach the spirit part of us to be in control of the other parts of us, in their proper sphere. But, again, that is information enough for another Blog! So for now think back, if you haven't already prepared ahead of time, to your early years. How were you spiritually? How was your progress through the years? How are you now?
     Again, the me part, of the blog, to help you maybe think a bit clearer about you because perhaps this is the toughest one for many of us to think about or even recognize. In reality,  it was this particular part of my life that gave me the thought, or inspiration, if you prefer, to even start writing a blog as well as the topics I write about. So, I guess you can thank my spiritual self for giving you this reading material! Haha! As for me as a kid? I always remember 2 huge thoughts growing up: I don't want to do anything that will get me in trouble or hurt anyone  AND I want to do all I can to make sure no one is disappointed in me in any way. Now with the first thought, my father was a very strict disciplinarian and as a kid I was scared to death of him. BUT I also tended to discipline myself...and as my mother confirmed many times...I disciplined myself more severely than they ever would have. But even through all of that I have always had something inside of me that wanted to be good and do the right things because it just felt better for me and everyone else. As I have gotten older and had more experience in life I have realized that I have always been that way because the greatest desire of my heart has been, and still is, to live worthy to return to my Heavenly Parents and thank them and my Savior, Jesus Christ, for all they did AND DO for me. I do believe that my greatest natural gift has always been spiritual. There are just too many little things that come easily for me and that I desire with all my heart, that have opened me up to this feeling. I have always wanted others to be as happy as I am as well as receiving the blessings I have. I was never tempted by so many of the things  youth are tempted by growing up. Now, with that being said, no one needs to suppose that I am perfect yet. I still have a mountain worth of personal weaknesses and issues to overcome.
      And so although I feel like the spiritual is my highest natural aspect of the 4 aspects we are considering, step by step I still have to do those things that will move me forward in it. In order to open my heart to the Lord and be guided by Him I need to pray, study my scriptures, attend my meetings and the Temple, as often as possible, as well as all the other little things Gospel living entails. And I definitely have to repent of all my big and little mess ups  daily and do all I can to rectify them.
     So you may have to dig a bit deeper because sometimes we hide the spiritual without even thinking about it. Look deep within yourself. Where are you and what step by step plans can you make to keep you moving forward in your spiritual self. Now you can work on physical, mental and spiritual. We have one more for next week before tying it all together. And I will, I promise. So be ready for the social aspect of your life next week. Until then, hope you have a great week!!! God bless!

     En realidad, esta es la parte de nosotros que existia mucho antes que cualquier otro, siendo que somos hijos espirtuales de nuestros Padres Celestiales. Vivimos con ellos antes de nacer fisicamente a nuestros padres mortales. Y es una tristeza que esta parte de nuestras vidas es algo que muchos hoy en dia les cuesta a creer por muchas razones. Por algunos les cuesta por que no pueden recoradar nada de la vida anterior, pero esto es parte del gran plan de Dios para poder ensenarnos a vivir por la fe, pero tambien para aprender a ensenar a nuestros espiritus a controlar lo demas aspectos de nuestras vidas, a como deben de ser. Pero otra vez, esto es tema suficiente por otro Blog. Asi por ahora piensa atras, si ya no la has hecho, a tus anos de jovencito. Como eras como nino joven? Y el progreso por los anos? Y ahora?
     Y ya toca la parte que explica de mi, en mi blog, para poder ayudarte a ver mas claramente, porque puede ser que esta parte de nuestro ser sea lo mas dificil a reconocer. En realidad, era esta parte de mi que me hizo pensar, o me inspiro, a escribir un Blog y las temas en la cual escribo. Asi puedes dar gracias al parte espititual mio por darte algo para leer. Jaja! Yo como nina? Por todo mi vida recuerdo dos pensamientos que me dirigia: No quiero hacer nada que va a causarme problems ni que hara dano a otros Y quiero hacer todo lo posible a vivir para que nadie este desilusionado en mi de ninguna manera. Con el primero, mi padre era muy estricto y yo le tenia un gran miedo PERO al mismo tiempo yo disciplinaba a mi mismo....algo que mi madre confirmo mucho...aun mas de lo que ellos me hubiesen disciplinado. Pero aun asi, siempre habia algo dentro de mi que queria hacer lo bueno y cumplir con las cosas rectas porque solo queria  lo mejor para mi y para los demas. Al madurar y tener mas experiencias en la vida he reconocido que yo era asi siempre, por el gran deseo de mi corazon, a volver dignamente a mis Padres Celestiales para poder darles gracias, igual a mi  Salvador Jesucristo, por todo lo que han hecho y siguen haciendo por mi. Yo creo que mi don mas natural y mas grande ha side lo espiritual. Hay demasiadas cosas pequenas que han sido faciles para mi y han sido los deseos de mi corazon,  que han abierto mi corazon a estos sentimientos. Siempre he querido que otras sean igual que felices como soy yo y que pudieron recibir las bendiciones que tengo yo. Muchas de las grandes tentaciones de la juventud nunca me interesaba nada. Bueno, diciendo esto no quiere decir que ya soy perfecta. Yo todavia tengo una montana de debilidades y problemas personales por superar.
     Asi, aunque siento que mi aspecto mas grande y natural de los 4 aspects de lo cual estamos hablando, es lo espiritual pero paso por paso todavia tegno que hacer lo que me va a mover adelante en ello. Por poder abrir mi corazon a Dios y ser guiado por El,, necesito orar, leer mis escrituras, asistir mis reuniones y el Templo lo mas que puedo, y vivir todos los otros detalles pequenas del Evangelio. Y por supuesto tengo que arrepentirme de las coasa pequenas y grandes que hago diariamente y  rectificarlos lo mas que puedo.
     Bueno, asi puede ser que tendras que buscar aun mas profundamente dentro de ti porque a veces escondemos lo espiritual sin pensarlo. Mira dentro de ti muy profundamente. Donde estas ahora y que planes, paso por paso, puedes tomar por seguir yendo adelante en lo espiritual? Ya puedes trabajar en tu fisico, mental y espiritual y tenemos uno mas por hablar la semana que viene antes de juntarlos todos. Prometo que lo hare! Asi preparate por el aspect social de tu vida la semana que viene. Hasta entonces, espero que tengas una buena semana. Que Dios Te Bendiga!
