Convocation 2016: God Is Bigger

Every year, the LDS community at Stanford starts off the year with a religious Convocation. It is an opportunity for us to call upon God as we start the school year, and reflect upon what it means to be both disciples and scholars. I am just beginning my senior year, and I was asked to speak about the intersection of my academic and spiritual development in my time here at Stanford. I loved the chance to reflect on my college journey thus far, and now hope to use my remarks from yesterday's Convocation to kick off another journey I've been hoping to start: entering the blogging world. I hope this post and every post here can help others to find hope in their futures and in the future of our church. My faith journey has been the most joyful when I look for the good, so this blog is about seeking after the silver linings.
