So this post will be a bit shorter then the last few, but its still important. I was browsing through lds.org, watching some of the Mormon Messages(http://www.youtube.com/mormonmessages) looking for some spiritual inspirations, when I came across "Good Things to Come", a talk by Jeffery R. Holland, and Apostle. The message was one of faith. Watch it and the comments will make sense...

In the message Elder Holland talks about a man, his wife, and two children who are on there journey seeking a new life. They are befallen by obstacles and a overwhelming road ahead of them. I as a person feel like this at times, I feel as if nothing will work out and everything is going wrong, I look to the future and see, like the young Jeffery, and daunting road ahead of me, road blocks and nothing but discouragement, wondering how everything will work out, its in these times in life, we get down, depressed and shut off. I have felt the bottom, and lets face it, it stinks, its painful, and we feel like giving up. This is when it is the most important to keep moving, Because like Elder Holland states, there are good things to come. I have many story's personal and from others who have been in the bottom, wandering in the darkness praying that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thankfully enough there always is, ALWAYS, no matter how low we are, no matter where we are, when our life lays shattered all around us in painful shards and it seems as if there is no hope, I so witness that those Good Things WILL COME. Weather in this life or in the life to come, it will come. So if you reading this and your in the tunnel of dispare, look forward with hope, "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."(2 Nephi 13:20). I so testify that the light is there, and I do so in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
