Sometimes...

Sometimes, stupid people make life hard.  I don't think I will ever understand why people are dishonest, the betrayal that brings, can be a faith shaker for me....

I have been reminded in my mind of  a simple truth, after a potentially "faith shaking" event. 

If it was right when you prayed about it, it is right now....

“Opposition turns up almost anyplace something good has happened. It can happen when you are trying to get an education. It can hit you after your first month in your new mission field. It certainly happens in matters of love and marriage. … There are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. … Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.”
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I'm thankful for moments when life seems dark and bleak, and in a quiet moment, you feel in your mind and in your heart, that you are doing the right thing, you are in the right place, and soon the dark will lift, and you will find your way.
