Note to self:

Elder Holland said, "We look back to gain the embers from our glowing experiences, not the ashes." Keep the embers going - they fuel the next fire. Faith looks forward with anticipation. Realize that the future is as bright as my faith. Know that the Lord has wonderful things in store for me and He wouldn't ask me to move on if it weren't toward something better. Remember Lot's wife. Remember Lehi, leaving his home and all he held dear, to experience hard times in the wilderness for years and years. Remember that it is through faith that all things are fulfilled. Remember that the Lord keeps His promises. Remember that while we think we are being made into a cottage, the Lord is making us into a palace. Look forward with faith. Take the glowing embers and leave the ashes, looking forward to the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Atonement takes away the pain and shows us how bright the future really is. And I've seen my future. It is bright.

Don't forget!!
