Who's your daddy?

One of my favorite books series that I read before the mission was Percy Jackson Olympians series.
It starts out with a boy that has a normal boring life. Then one day he ends up finding out that he is the son of a god. That is when his whole life changes. In five books you get to read as he goes on adventure after adventure and tries to use his godlike powers for good.
Now you might be asking yourself, "Elder Lewis that is all well and good but why are you taking the time to write about this book?" Well, that is because we are all children of God. We all have a divine heritage. God is not the father of our bodies, but he is the father of our spirit. Each one of us have spiritual gifts and talents. We can choose how to use these talents. In Romans 8:16-17 it says: 
"16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

So, it is up to us to see how we will choose to live our life. Just remember we are all God's children no matter what our choice is.

    Haha! I just read the recent book of the Heroes of Olympus!! Although I'm in love with the series I'm so glad we have such a wonderful, merciful, truthful and in all righteous God as our Heavenly Father who loves us. <3
