Misery Loves Company

When I have thought all was lost and Heavenly Father has given up on me.  Heaven seems to open up and send the love from friends that I so desperately need and seek.  Now I know why Calgary will always seem like home to me, it is not my family that resides there that holds my heart there but the wonderful friends who never seem to fail in showing me love when they see me in a cry for help.

In knowing that Heavenly Father also prompts me whether I know it or not to seek Him just a little bit more and open my heart to what He is trying to teach me.  I stumbled across this talk from a general authority who holds a tender place in my heart, Jeffery R Holland.  It changed my outlook on life, Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence.

"It is the plain and very sobering truth that before great moments,

 certainly before great spiritual moments, there can come adversity, opposition, and darkness.

 Life has some of those moments for us, and occasionally they come

 just as we are approaching an important decision or a significant step in our life."

I can't say anything because of how wonderful Elder Holland speaks.  Just read it for it will truly change your life.
