So how Motivation Monday works is... I choose a topic to add a few quotes and insights on. They typically won't be as long as normal blog posts. They will be more like a kick-start to your day at 2:30 p.m haha. I will try and get it done earlier!
If you know me well you would know i'm not one to share personal experiences and things like that but seeing how I made a blog I kind of have to! :) I'm willing and ready to let my guard down a little. There was a point in my life where I felt completely hopeless. I felt like my life was going in a downwards spiral and there was nothing I could do about it. The thing was, it wasn't because of sin. Some trials can be, but mine was not. I had no clue what to do. There was plenty of sleepless nights, countless tears, countless priesthood blessings in a single month and hundreds of prayers. I find in life that we have a lot of crossroads. Mine was whether or not I would choose to come closer to my Savior and Heavenly Father during this trial, or to choose to be mad at God. I chose the first one. A scripture comes to mind in Joshua 24:15 "Choose you this day whom ye will serve." I had to learn a lot of patience. I mean a lot. One day in particular I became super frustrated. I was getting impatient and a lot of anger was built up. Then I ran onto a quote by Robert D. Hales "Tests and Trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His son." That was a turning point for me. I noticed and realized as I came closer to Them my burden was lifted. It wasn't taken right away but I had the comfort and peace I so desperately needed because I learned how to trust my Heavenly Father. I promise you as you do the things you know you should... follow the prophet, read your scriptures, say your prayers ,etc. It will get better. Those primary answers are said and stressed a lot. But they are there for a reason. Trust God. You will be happy. Have a wonderful Monday and a wonderful week. Ness

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
