Someone once told me that the trials that your investigators have are the ones that you need to teach for yourself. I think the biggest problem that frustrated me is people "never had time." I was reading the other day in Nephi and I was reading about Laman and Lemuel and how they had had such wonderful experiences, but how could they have forgotten? I kind of felt a little humbled in that moment. I felt like I was being like Laman and Lemuel? How could I have forgotten the things I had taught other people. You HAVE to put the Lord first. There is never enough time, but if you put the Lord first, it will all work out.
Today, I spent time working on homework and spent time on my homework. Took a break for myself. I found that as I was in the middle of my homework that I went out and talked with one of my roommates for just a minute. She asked what I did when I was stressed.... So great right? I'm always stressed! Haha Well not always, but it definitely can be a struggle for me. I just told her the things I did and then didn't think much of it.
I went back to my homework and then felt that I should write her a note. Really? I don't have time for that. I don't even have time to finish what I need to do. Well, I'm glad I did. I just wrote a simple note saying that she shouldn't forget that she is loved.
I didn't think much of it until about an hour later when she came in crying and just hugged me and said thanks. I have no clue how I am going to do things right now, but I do know that Lord loves me and is proud of what I can do. It may not be much, but it is worth it! And somehow, he is helping me to understand my homework even if I am super exhausted.
I am so grateful that the Lord teaches me to put Him first and that I can slowly learn what is most important in life.
Ps. The picture is irrelevant, but one of my favorites. Others will be posted soon! :)
