Believe

My best high school bud recently shared a quote with me by Jeffrey R. Holland. She and I are going through the same trial of unable to have children and this quote has helped her a great deal. It's one that really helps you have peace with your lot.

We must go forward. God expects you to have enough faith, determination, and trust in Him to keep moving, living, and rejoicing. He expects you not simply to face the future; He expects you to embrace and shape the future - to love it, rejoice in it, and delight in your opportunities. God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams; just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.

How true is that. Even through our trials, or maybe especially through our trials we still need to have faith and go on with a happy heart. Some days that is far from an easy thing to do. But if we believe our Heavenly Father will carry us through, then we can get through. And some day, perhaps not necessarily in this life, he will bless us with the righteous desires we hold in our hearts. I am so thankful for this knowledge and for the testimony I have of this. So thank you Keira Lee for sharing this quote with me!
