Just do it

I don't usually share experiences like this in public space. But I felt like I needed to share this one. It's not extravagant but it is meaningful to me.

Sometimes I get promptings to do something and I am afraid to do it, so I push the thoughts away and think oh, but I don't really need to do that; It's just my silly creative brain being over active and telling me to do crazy things that I don't actually have time to do.
To myself, I want to say that from now on, Just. Do. It.

Alert: A spiritual experience is below.

I was on my way home from the General Women's Meeting tonight, and feeling a spiritual high because all of my recent prayers for answers to certain questions were answered during the conference. (So if you thought you didn't get anything out of it, sorry friend, it's because they were talking to me.) I felt a surge of love, and warmth fill my heart and expand into the car, blocking out the music I was listening to, blocking out everything except the urging to tell a certain old friend a message from Heavenly Father.
This old friend was never a close friend. If I was really categorizing, she'd be a high school acquaintance whom I didn't know much about but saw every day. She recently reached out to me and told me she was getting baptized and confirmed. She lives in California. She said her ward is super supportive and loving. At the time I think I said, "That's great!" and that was all I could think of to say.
Nevertheless, I was so strongly urged to tell her this message that I decided not to ignore it. I decided to just admit that all those crazy feelings I'd felt before were probably promptings I should have acted on too. When I gave her the message as soon as I got home, she responded that she had really needed it. That I was one of a tiny handful of people who had reached out to her about Heavenly Father right now, and that she just was having a really really hard time.
I am so glad I acted.  Perhaps someone else would have acted if I had not. Or perhaps her frustration at feeling ignored by her home and visiting teachers would have changed her life very differently. I don't know. All I know is, if I get a prompting to do something I think is insignificant, or silly.. I really need to just do it.

The End.
ps. I know with my whole heart - down to every last node and cardiac fiber - that Heavenly Father is aware of us and loves us so deeply he sent his own son to live, suffer, die, and then rise again in order to give us someone to lean on in times of need, someone to guide us in times of struggle, and an eternal life to hope for and strive for at all times, in all things, and in all places. Our Savior knows us, he knows our pain, joy, despair and hope perfectly. He is calling us to come and be healed and then to find more people to come and walk the only way there is home. Yep, It's true. As sure as my heart is still pumping blood all the way through its atria and ventricles. Wait.. yup. Still pumping. It must be true.
