Know ye not ye that ye are the temple of God?

"The best things are always worth finishing. 'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?' (1 Corinthians 3:16). Most assuredly you are. As long and laborious as the effort may seem, please keep shaping and setting the stones that will make your accomplishment 'a grand and imposing spectacle.' Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and grow. Dream dreams and see visions. Work toward their realization. Wait patiently when you have no other choice. Lean on your sword and rest a while, but get up and fight again." -Jeffry R. Holland

I know how important it is to endure. I know that life wasn't meant to be easy. I also know that I really just need that reminder sometimes so I can remain hopeful.

This week was a hard week. My husband was gone on a hunting trip in Wyoming. He travels often for work, but not like this. It was the opportunity of a lifetime for him. Of course, because he was gone all hell broke loose to the point where I dramatically questioned EVERYTHING. I wondered why I bothered to do anything beyond surviving this week. But, I thought a lot about my goals, where I am going with them and if I have them mapped out correctly. Everything I have read for class has given me plenty of food for thought.

What I read nourished my soul today. I needed it. So, even though I know that life isn't easy and that it's hard and our experiences help shape the temple that we are and continue to become...well...sometimes we just need that reminder that it will be ok eventually.
