Long time no post, seriously guys! I struggle hard core on trying to come up with post ideas. I could really use your ideas... If you think of anything at all, any topic, comment or send me a message! I'd love that! Before you read any further... Check out the new Ponderize of The Week and the new Quote of The Week! (Computer- On the side bar, Phone/device- Scroll all the way down to find them!) So I wanted to base today's post on the quote I posted on my @_simplyness_ insta account... Such a powerful scripture right?! With our loving Heavenly Father on our side, we can do anything. In particular resisting temptation and staying strong. These 2 things have been on my mind a lot. Especially in our day of age, there are so many evil and negative influences around us that sometimes our minds get distracted from important things in our lives like the gospel. It is so important that we stay strong and remember who we are and WHOSE we are. We are His and He loves us.
I firmly believe that He will not give us anything that we cannot handle... even when it doesn't always seem that way. When we've reached our breaking point and lowest of lows that is when we need to come unto Him. He will lighten our load. How lucky are we that we are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?! Even the thought brings me so much hope and peace. Simply because I know that I have a loving Heavenly Father who knows me personally and knows my struggles, and simply because I also have an elder brother Jesus Christ who is my Prince of Peace. He is our Savior. With this knowledge alone, brings so much peace. I know that if we stay strong individually and in the gospel, remember who we are/whose we are, resist temptation, and be an example to others of our faith and strength... we will be blessed! Just like Jeffrey R. Holland says, "Keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever!" The Mormon Channel on YouTube posted a video a couple months ago titled "Be Still, My Soul" that I think fits perfectly with my post as far as trusting in Heavenly Father and relying on Him for strength. Watch it, it's a good one for sure! Click HERE!

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 |
