Faith

"Hold the ground you have already won. Be true to the faith you have."
~Holland


 The past few weeks, my heart has been so very heavy. I have tried so hard to be faithful, to believe, and to have hope that things will be ok.  A couple weeks ago, as I met with my Bishop, I sat sobbing, as I told him how tired I was, how overwhelmed, and how quickly I was losing hope for my sweet son.  He had me read some scriptures, and told me that I needed to be very specific in my needs for my son in prayer.  I have been trying my friends.  My heart has been broken, and I have begged and pleaded with the Lord for my son.  I know He hears me. I know He is blessing him, and me.

Today, as I listen to Conference, Elder Holland's talk spoke to my heart.  It was the answer I sought for all of these long months. "A partial blessing, a glimmer of hope"....  that is all I ask now.  

My heart is too full, to speak all that I feel inside.  Please listen to his words.  I have already listened to it 4 times today, and learn something each time I hear it.  The words he speaks about the Mother of the child that is waiting to be healed by Jesus, are the words I have spoken in sacred prayer too many times to count.  

 "Hold fast onto what you already know, and stand strong until additional knowledge comes."
