This week was HARD! I feel like I have lost 3 of my good friends - to mistrust. I am SAD!
But, I bought a book - because I LOVE books. And I read it that first night. Maybe I was suppose to read it, because I have learned a lot.
Hilary Weeks, Believe in What You're Doing, Believe in Who You Are -- is the title and author.
So, what did I learn?
1. Don't worry about what others think of you. Worry about what they think of themselves when they are with you!
2. In D&C 67 - it talks about we need not have a heart full of fear - because Heavenly Father then has a hard time reaching us -- go read it!
3. Scripture study (no matter how small) can decrease feelings of being overwhelmed, increase feelings of empowerment. Heavenly Father will sustain us with his power.
4. Last but not least, Like the scripture story about the loaves and fishes - there wasn't enough. Lots of times we don't have enough (energy, kindness, patience, etc.) WE MUST pray to recieve whatever is necessary.
Go buy the book. It's amazing and very helpful when your blue. I feel less overwhelmed and sad. In fact, I think I am going to rebuild my relationship with my friends.
