So I'm sitting here recollecting the events of the day, and her baptism. It brought me back to when I was baptized nearly two years ago. How amazing it felt when I was baptized. I filled with so much joy for her, knowing she was starting an eternal journey!
But I'm standing outside on the rail just staring at the temple... I look back and I see a family. I then turn to the temple... And I think about where I'm going... I think back to how stressed I was. With all the drama, with work, and school! And I got the answer to my prayers and here's what words came to my heart...
"This time period is not always going to be easy. Things are going to stink. It won't always go your way. It's called life. You're put here on this planet for a reason. The trials you face are here to teach you. Learn from them so that you'll be able to handle bigger trials and enjoy beautiful days to come. The money, the drama, all of it; none of it matters in eternity. When we leave this world it can't come with you! But your family can. So walk upright, observe patience.... For this too shall pass..."
Those were the words that came to my heart as I stared at the temple with a sincere prayer in my heart!
Days are gonna be hard, and stuff won't always go our way. But if we have faith, and strive to do our best, then we won't fail...
