That is when we get to see what we are made of and how strong our commitment to the gospel really is. Edited September 8, 2008 by Hemidakota Quote
Spacemecha Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 I had a friend that ran out at the end of the fireside. She booked it. I gave her a ride home from FHE last night and she told me that was crying with understanding and she had her eyes opened to how things are going in her life, and she admitted she was genuinely happy about it. I thought this was a great moment for her as it testified to me of how things work with enduring, with being given knowledge and understanding, and how to get by in times of trouble. And I did my homework. My favorite scripture for a time was D&C 123 verse 23 Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven We are not at the whim of chaos and chance. There is a reason for everything that happens, for good or bad in our lives. Quote
