DAY 35: This is for you...

Day 35: -Read: Mosiah 24-25
-Mark: Mosiah 24:14-15

"We should seek to be happy and cheerful and not allow Satan to overcome us with discouragement, despair, or depression."
~Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

"The Lord,....loves us..., comforts and strengthens us, and enables us to bear our afflictions with patience and fortitude."
~Elder George Q. Cannon

Something to think about: How can we submit more cheerfully to the will of the Lord?

I loved today's reading and the quotes. We all have trials and things in life that we feel are going to be unbearable to get through, but we just have to always remember that the Lord is here for us. He will never leave us. Never. Also, your situation could always be worse. Be grateful for the trials he has given you....He knows you are capable of handling them--that's why He didn't give you someone else's trials!!


I was actually just talking about this with my mother over my Thanksgiving break last week. We went on a run together; something that used to be enjoyable for my mom. Something that was a release and escape from the world for her. Now? It just puts her in pain, and she usually can't go on a whole run without stopping, feeling out of breath and hurting. What's wrong? you may be wondering....over the past year (plus some) my mom has had chronic pain in her hip and lower back. She has gone to multiple doctors to try and figure out a solution as to what is causing this problem, but to no avail. No one can figure it out :( So she is choosing to just live and deal with it. What else can she do? It has been rough for my whole family to watch because it is really getting her down. She feels like she can't do much of anything that she used to love to do anymore. Some days are better than others.

Mom, I know you are going to read this at some point or another today.....these are the words from the prophets! So today, this is for you. Please take them to heart and keep your chin up :) Just because you can't physically run and race anymore without pain, remember you can always spiritually run/race forever, and that is even more important. Focus on those things, and the rest. will. fall. into. place.

I just wanna leave ya'll with this poem that I love. Really take to heart it's beautiful message:


I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Keep plugging along. After all, life is amazing! :) Enjoy it while you have it, cuz it only gets better after this!!
