Lean unto

I always enjoy conference weekend because it gives us a simple reminder on how we ought to be and how we can get there. There are several things in our life that tends to get in the way and makes us forget the imprortance of things. As humans we tend to find the worst in situations - it's easier right? Sure. However, nothing easy is usually worth it. It's harder to stay on top and be positive but once you do... You see a change. You tend to look at things in a whole new light. I've been in both places, but I've never in my whole life have been as positive as I am now. When I'm having a hard time with things whether it be something big or small people often ask, how do you stay so positive? My honest answer, the church. Some people don't understand, but that's okay. Elder Russell M. Nelson spoke perfectly about how God never leaves us astray. With my testimony of the church, I know that no matter what happens the Lord has a plan and in the mist of things, it's okay. Having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in his plan, all of us can feel at peace in knowing we are never alone. Christ will never forsake us, even in our weakest moments... he will make us strong if we seek him and lean unto him.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Continue to be the best that you can be and the Lord will guide you to the happiest of places.
