Pierced My Heart

Today we had stake conference. A mother of 7 spoke, and during part of her talk she was relaying how this one week in particular she was having a hard week and she felt that she was inadequate in many things in her life. She went to the temple at the end of that week and was renewed and this thought came to her.

"I can do hard things."

This statement rang true in my soul as she said it. Who doesn't have periods where they feel inadequate for the life they are trying to achieve, and who doesn't wonder if they are making correct choices, or doing all they could. I wanted to jump up and say "Me too, Me TOO!" But that would have been weird and awkward so instead I am doing it here...

"I CAN DO HARD THINGS!"

Truly insightful. We all need to tell ourselves that very thing at times.

It just kind of liberates you, huh? If I would have been with you and you jumped up and yelled "Me too!" I would have jumped up and said "Aaaaamen! Aaaaamen! HalleLUjah"

I am glad you controlled yourself and just let us read about it. I really like that saying.
