Life has been crazy lately, and I feel like I've been focusing a little too much on everything I need to get done, rather than taking time for me. It's nice every once in a while to just take a step back and remind myself of all that I've been blessed with, especially the gospel. The next few months are going to be CRAZY as I apply to grad school and make some pretty major decisions. It's actually kind of scary. Along with that, there have been some things that have happened in the past few weeks that have been a little tough, that have made hope a little challenging... but then I think of the gospel. I think hope is one of the best synonyms for the gospel. Perfect enough, my roommate came home last night after an FHE she went to and talked to me about hope and a video by Elder Worthlin, entitled "Sunday Will Come." Elder Worthlin makes a perfect analogy of our life compared to the events leading up to the Atonement, and especially that dreadful Friday, on which our Savior was crucified. However, the following Sunday, our Savior broke the bonds of death, and because of this we can all have hope through the Atonement and through the gospel... because of this, through him, we can overcome our sorrows and pains. He continues to say that we will all have our Fridays, where we feel broken and everything around us is shattered, sometimes to the point where we feel we can't be put back together again... BUT Sunday will come! That's the hope that the gospel brings us. I'm soo grateful for the Atonement and that because Christ died for each of us we can have a great hope of things to come. Because of this we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. Watch this video! It's amazing... such a blessing my roommate showed this to me! :)
