Nie.


I understand that this has made thorough rounds of the Blogsphere + all other forms of social networking, but I finally watched it for the first time (thanks, N) yesterday, on a Wednesday when I needed it. And it humbled me.

I don't mean to be so dramatic, but on a day when a lease falls through at the absolute very last minute & in that exact moment you receive news that family member passed away unexpectedly hours before (not putting them on the same plane, of course - but apparently when it rains, it pours), it's good to gain a little bit of a perspective.

Faith is everything. The Gospel is everything. Focus on those things, & everything else works out. It just will. And that makes me feel better on less-than-perfect days.

*And everything will work out for us, & is already. We're fine, & we love our family + good friends.

I absolutely love this - I have been meaning to write about it on my blog too. It is so true - I love Elder Holland's quote at the end - I love the feeling he expresses through his words. The Gospel is absolutely everything, you're right.
