i needed someone to dance with me. in an obscure place. under unlikely circumstances.

         It’s hard to see the light in times of trials. It’s hard to be happy when you feel like you’re losing control. It’s hard to keep your heart and your mind aware that these trials are needed to mold you into a better and stronger person. It’s hard to keep your faith strong when you feel so undeserving.  It would be easy to just stop. It would be easy to pretend that you don’t care. It would be easy to stop trying. It would be easy to let it all go.

          That’s when I remember a conversation I had with Elder Price. “The easy way may never be the right way,” he told me. He was right, you know. Like he always seems to be. It can’t possibly be stormy weather forever.

          So find someone who gives you flowers and hugs you for no reason other than to be close to you. Someone who dances with you when the time seems unlikely. Someone who appreciates you in the moment. Someone who’s not willing to let you go.

Happy Monday.
