My Faith In God...

We all know this, sometimes things get so overwhelmingly hard that we feel its almost impossible to overcome. I recently felt like this. It is sad to say, but these are the times when I do the most praying, the most scripture studying, when I feel the closest to my Heavenly Father and my faith in him grows so much. I should be doing these things and working on them all the time, but I truly am grateful for the hard times I've been through. They have made me grow stronger and learn so much. I have learned so much about who I am and what I want in life in the past year or so. I am so blessed to have been born and raised in the Gospel. I thank my Heavenly Father each time I pray for that, for my amazing parents, my siblings, and for all the people in my life who care so much about me and who love me. When I'm in the middle of a trial, I have to remember to look ahead and to remember that things always get better, its something I have to grasp onto until its all over. I have a huge testimony of prayer. I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Without a doubt in my mind, he is there and waiting for us to come unto him. What a huge blessing it is to know that.

My challenge: Always remember, when things get so hard and you feel as though you might not get through it, fall to your knees and pray. He is there and listening. I love you all.
