General Conference is This Weekend

I absolutely love listening to General Conference. You can view it at http://lds.org/, too!

It's a wonderful time to listen to the Prophet and Apostles. You can feel the love of God through their words. I know that there is a Prophet on the earth today. I know God speaks to the Prophet, who is Thomas S. Monson. Please listen, it's wonderful.

Endurance and Trusting in God

These are two things that I've been learning about lately. I've been trying to find a better job to support my family and haven't found anything in 7 months of looking. I've been trying to trust in God, but until this past little while, I don't think I really have.

I think I've just been hoping in God.

Also, the hard part about enduring this is that I don't see the end. I can endure anything if I can see when it's going to be over, but when I can't, it makes it so much harder. God probably wants it that way so we rely on Him more.

I am grateful for this opportunity to grow. I think I've learned a lot, especially about myself and my faith level. But I just hope I can learn what I'm supposed to.

God really is there. I know He is. And I know in those dark times of despair, He is there. He will put His arms around you and say "You will make it, just a little longer, I love you".
