Words of Wisdom

"Becoming like the Savior happens when our faith in Him allows us to “do hard things” and overcome opposition. “We have learned that trials can be endured and overcome only through strong faith—faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ and His atoning power and His capacity to heal and strengthen us, faith in the Father’s plan and His mission and His ability to fulfill every promise,” she said. While without faith we become fearful, distracted, lost, and depressed, the Lord can use faith to “heal and strengthen us,” she said. And like the blind men in Matthew 9, we too can ask the Lord to have mercy on us."  ~ Julie B. Beck

“Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort.”  ~Rick Warren

"Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, nevertheless they give up their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it's gone." ~ Joan of Lorraine 

"We spend our days waiting for the ideal path to appear in front of us, but what we forget is that paths are made by walking, not by waiting."
