I finally understand...

The last few days.. have been

THE DARKEST, MOST LONELY DAYS OF MY LIFE.


I've never felt like this.. I've never felt like there was literally no one to look to.
Sometimes I want to tell the Lord, "this plan of happiness of yours. well it's not really working...."


Yet, I've felt,  COMPLETELY AT PEACE


Divine chastening has at least three purposes: (1) to persuade us to repent, (2) to refine and sanctify us, and (3) at times to redirect our course in life to what God knows is a better path.


 I feel at times like these when I am doing everything that the lord wants me to do, when I'm giving it my best to be just like Christ. It feels as if things get worse and worse. It makes sense that things get harder, especially at this point in my life as I prepare to go on a mission, the one thing that the adversity doesn't want me to do. But I just have to say one thing to Satan, "might as well give up bro".



“Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith.
“Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people”  -Mosiah 23:21-22
I feel that as soon as I get past this that I'll be able to do anything.  I can't wait till that day that things turn out. That day when things get better. That day when I rejoice and feel so happy that I didn't throw in the towel. That day when I can say 
Thank you Lord, for loving me enough to hurt me.
I just need to have faith that everything is happening for a reason, that its for the best and if there's someone that I should trust with my life, that I should give my life  to, it's the man upstairs..
 HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
