Faith in the Lord

Another week has come and gone. Time sure does fly when you are busy. But busy is the point of my life right now, so it's all good. This past week I have really been thinking about all the things I am grateful for. At the top of my list was the fact that I was raised in the gospel of the one and only true church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some things happened to a friend of mine this past week, and it made me reflect on the teachings of the gospel and the heartbreak these teachings save us from. So many people think our church is only a list of things we are "not allowed" to do which is so not the case. We are advised against doing such things to keep us healthy, in all aspects of our lives, physically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. When we follow the teachings we have been taught, we save ourselves from hurting our bodies, and our souls. I know the church is true. I know that we have been taught these things for a reason and that if we abide by those teachings, we will live a happy and healthy life. Yes, bad things happen. Bad things happen to everybody. But after we make it through those bad times, we can look back and see how much stronger we are. We can see why we needed to go through that particular bad time. Most of the time we come out on top. If we don't we haven't made it all the way through yet and we need to just continue doing our best and trusting in Heavenly Father that all will work out how it is supposed to. It will work out how it is supposed to. It may not be the way we think it should be, but it is the way it is supposed to be. We just need to press forward with our faith and trust in the Lord and we will always come out on top.
