That's a hard lesson to learn and follow. Sometimes I think that Jesus was a little bit of Heaven on Earth and we won't be made whole by Him till we're with Him, but that's denying the power He has given us not only in the priesthood but also through our own faith. Through faith all things are possible, that doesn't mean we can climb Mount Everest but we can do what the Lord has in store for us.Kandace Welchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038038106033880318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39042259878862079.post-12402651647598552162010-02-24T16:13:14.988-07:002010-02-24T16:13:14.988-07:00Life is what happens when you are making other pla...Life is what happens when you are making other plans.<br /><br />The last few months I also have faced the reality of unmet dreams and actually gone through the process of letting them go an mourning it. Don't beat yourself for it -- but do let yourself feel the pain and mourn the passing of dreams unfulfilled. I'm trying to open myself up to the dreams God has for me - and maybe had for me all along.DeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038956475485367163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39042259878862079.post-52948840106001608222010-02-22T22:18:16.298-07:002010-02-22T22:18:16.298-07:00This is what I know: Letting go is one of the hard...This is what I know: Letting go is one of the hardest lessons of life. Finding faith when life is easy is... well, easy. It is when life is really dark and difficult that our faith is tried. <br /><br />All I have figured out for myself is that when life seems faithless and hopeless, the only thing I know how to do is to dig deep and not give up. <br /><br />Sometimes life stinks, and it isn't our choices but those of others that are often the hardest to deal with. <br /><br />Tasha, you are like me and hate to feel out of control of situations. We want to fix everything. Guess what? We can't always do that. And that is the test of faith. Do we trust our Father and our Savior to pick up the pieces and make up the difference after our best efforts that fall - oh so short - of our goals? <br /><br />For what it's worth, even with your trials and quote, unquote "failures," your faith puts mine to shame. You are a faithful daughter of God and He loves you and is proud of your efforts, even when they aren't "good enough" in your own eyes. <br /><br />I love you, too, and have been praying for you and your family. Wish I was there in person to hug you and cry with you. Love you!!Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647417825144481742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39042259878862079.post-84833539380792934932010-02-21T21:52:09.875-07:002010-02-21T21:52:09.875-07:00Wow Tash.

But this I know: You are amazing! I haven't been privy to your unmet goals, but I have felt of your spirit. Again, you are amazing. I love you.Denaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742132171264481246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39042259878862079.post-15240971594168523432010-02-21T21:16:14.824-07:002010-02-21T21:16:14.824-07:00I read something similar to this in a book once.

Didn't he know that he could have been more. Well, then the eyes of the onlooker were opened. He could see that the test was how others reacted to the man. Not the path the man was now on. The Lord knew the heart of this alcholic; and the reasons and choices that were made that brought the man to these circumstances. It is the same with you, it is the same with all of us. Looking back we think we made mistakes(based on the preception of normalcy or ideal) but we can't really tell, if it was truly a mistake or a path the Lord already understood we would take. The Lord looks on the heart not the outward appearance, or your circumistance compared to another persons. Your life may be a test of others faith. Faith is a gift of the Spirit, it is good to seek after it. But we should always remember this about gifts of the spirit, "To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby" D&C 46:12 The gifts of the spirit are used to help each other on this journey. Sometimes we have to say "Help thou my unbelief" and wait for an angel or something or someone else to lift us.The Burila Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413327067503586782noreply@blogger.com
