Trust.

I feel the need to post a little follow-up to my last depression-laden blog post. I really am okay... and feel that the Lord is currently taking out my doubts and fears (a little painfully) and filling the spaces left with an unyielding faith. This whole thing is a refining process and I tend to lack patience in it, but I've realized something so vitally important in the following hope-filled scripture:

And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good—yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy;" -Doctrine & Covenants 11:12-13

I need to trust HIM. Not my accomplishments, my job, my friends, my possessions, my family, nor even myself. I must trust in my Savior and my God. He has a plan. He not only knows the beginning from the end, He knows my beginning from my end.

And the most glorious promise brings me something that I have found myself pleading for more than ever:

JOY!

What a promise, what a blessing. I know it's true. I can choose happyness.
