Trials

Ever since I decided to go on a mission, I've been striving to really strengthen my testimony and grow closer to Christ. It's amazing how hard the adversary tries to stop you from doing something that is so right. I was reading a book entitled 21 Days Closer to Christ and I got to this paragraph that really struck me. So, I decided to share it with everyone.

"There is a moment of epiphany after the soul has doubted all it knows, when it begins to reach out for solid answers and firm ground. This moment is defined by one emotion that sustains and creates a desire for change. Before faith or knowledge is found, before joy or happiness is experienced, before the healing begins, one emotion starts to stir from deep within the depths of despair. It is hope. Hope is the light that will begin to lead through the darkest hour, which will enable us to move forward along the darkened path."

So keep hope in your life and blessings will come. It will get you through.
