So - talk is cheap - let me see if my beliefs and actions match my words.
Thursday night on my way home I took a fall. Landed in the ER with a broken wrist and a break in the other arm. I'll need surgery for my wrist.
I"m going to exercise faith and trust the Lord will carry me through this.
In a talk by Elder Bednar in Russia he said "This changes everything. Give me the strength to endure my adversity. Let me learn from my illness, if that is what thou wilt have me do. Not as I will, but thy will be done. Do so to become more like Christ. Enduring to the end is not so much getting through adversity as it is becoming more like Christ. (My thoughts)Did the answer to pray come early? No. How arrogant it is to blame God, when the answer does not arrive on our timetable. This is a lesson to learn for eternity. I will bless you with patience and strength.In the depths of our adversity, we may cry out that no one understands us. But that is not true. There is One who does…even Jesus Christ. He has suffered not only for your sins, but for your afflictions and your illness. He does understand!! There is no loneliness with Christ in our lives. This is the strengthening power of the atonement. It is available to every member of the church."
So I will endure and hope this experience will make me more like Christ. I am so thankful for the support of my husband and friends.
