I'm a little embarrassed that I haven't posted anything here for nearly two months...it's certainly not because there aren't more messages of Jesus I'd like to share. I think it mainly comes down to me feeling like I need to be extra eloquent when talking about Christ, and with my super busy schedule lately, I haven't exactly felt eloquent. Anyway...
I just read "Created for Greater Things," which is a collection of quotes from of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and while the whole book was touching, I just wanted to share one thought:
"There is not a single loophole or curveball or open trench to fall into for the man or woman who walks the path that Christ walks. When He says, 'Come, follow me,' (Luke 18:22), He means that He knows where the quicksand is and where the thorns are and the best way to handle the slippery slope near the summit of our personal mountains. He knows it all, and He knows the way. He is the way."
I just like the reminder that the perils in life aren't a surprise to the Lord; even if they aren't exactly part of OUR plans, they are part of His plan, and He already knew the way through those trials before we even began to realize that we were approaching (or stuck in) the quicksand.
