I'm reading thru the visit teaching message for today and it's EXACTLY what I needed to hear. This month's message is about Patience and Long-suffering. It's not about failing to act because of fears, or resigning ourselves. It's about enduring and actively waiting. President Uchtdorf said, "Patience mean s accepting that which cannot be changed and facing it with courage, grace, and faith. It means being willing to submit to all things which the Lord seet h fit to inflict upon us."
Right now, it's so hard to have courage and immovable faith, especially because my afflictions are touching the lives of oth ers!
I love the "woman with the issue of blood" story, her faith healed her. We can find blessings and comfort and even healing as we reach to Christ.
I have a testimony of our premortal existence. I believe we knew to some extent what we'd face on this earth. I picture a mission call, we put in paper s and we opened an envelope saying where we would go, what situation, what circumstances we would be born in. We knew we could cuz He knows we can.
