Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!** I'm giving myself one big pat on the back; actually, a huge one. If you're reading this post, you've made it to Friday too so pat away!
I am so grateful for making it through this week. My personal, academic, and spiritual lives have been on one
major rollercoaster the past few weeks. A lot of changes have taken place, priorities rearranged, purposes redefined, and large leaps of faith...leapt. These have all been
good great things, but they have also been difficult. Here are some things I've rediscovered these past two weeks that kept me going when the going got rough.
1. Personal prayer. This seems like a no-brainer, and it is. How easily I forget the peace and comfort that comes from a personal prayer.
2. Scripture study. When I read of the trials others have endured or choices others have had to make, I realize my life isn't so bad. Yes, my life isn't perfect and there are many things that could be "better", but I'd rather have
my trials than someone else's.
3. Faith. We can do
anything if we rely upon the Lord. Philippians 4:13.
4. Priesthood blessings. Seriously, these are like mini-patriarchal blessings. I am so grateful to have been raised in a home where priesthood blessings were readily available, thanks to a worthy father and brother who were in tune with the Spirit so they could provide me the messages of comfort and guidance whenever I needed.
5. Friends. I've made some absolutely
incredible friends this year and will always hold them dear.
So here's to making it through the rough patches of life and those who helped along the way!
**Yes, Friday is an awful song, but hey, how many of you can actually say you're a recording artist?**
