I wanted to tell you that I've resurrected my old Sunday blog: Mona's Gospel Musings http://monasgospelmusings.blogspot.com/) and that this coming Sunday, May 8th, I will be musing on this same general topic. I hope you will share with everyone there.

I fe...Very great analogy with the Brother of Jared.<br />I feel sad that I know exactly what you are going through. <br /><br /> I have felt those great waves taking me under many times this past month.. but one of my very inspiring Visiting Teachers showed up at my door with Neal A, Maxwell's talk from December 4th 1984 " If thou Endure it well" and oh my.. it was just what my soul needed to get on the boat.. and out of the waves. I encourage you to print it out and highlight it-- and read it. IT WILL HELP.<br /><br />One quote in it that I keep thinking about is from CS Lewis.. it says: the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is Monday morning." ( The weight of Glory )<br /><br />Hang in there lady. I KNOW good things are in store for you. I KNOW it.<br />One of my favorite quotes in it..iAnn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374067182519089756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412599672217240831.post-6547047572461057242011-05-02T22:31:15.457-06:002011-05-02T22:31:15.457-06:00That is one of my very favorite books ever.

It takes a lot of faith to do it. I liked how you likened it to the brother of Jared's boats. You are very inspiring. I hope all is well and you are enjoying every minute of your schooling and being a wonderful mom!

I also really like the poem, "Don't Quit" which goes along the same lines. I used to have it taped on my door. It's easy to lose sight of what we're aiming for in the "fog" of everyday trials and activities. You such a strong woman...you're doing great with the hand you've been dealt. I hope you are giving yourself credit.Tiff :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08739610974348146697noreply@blogger.com
