going back to the basics

Tonight we had a wonderful church meeting, with a wonderful General Authority. It was tonight I realized my change in life. I wondered how a person can change multiple times in 20 months, but I have.  I was reminded of a great primary story...
The wise and foolish man-
We learned in the song that both of these men built houses.
The foolish man built his on the sand
The wise man built his on the rock
and then the rains came down (hurricanes)

It hit me like a ton of bricks....
we will ALL go through one or many trials in our life. Those times you just want to yell....Life Sucks!
But we must remember where we have built our life...on God and Christ.
or the foolishness of the world.
When things get hard do we cry and run away and hate life? (well maybe for a little bit to grieve)
or do we take this time to come closer to the Lord and figure out what he wants for our life?

It's hard to put these thoughts into words, but it again reminded me when I was so angery with life and when I felt like giving up, but decided to give up to the Lord first and see what he can make me. Well, I'm far from being at the end, but I must say I hope I have learned one thing..
to be more sensitive to others, understanding of trials and hardships.

I could not go through these treatments without knowing that I have a very close relationship with my Savior and Heavenly Father.
