I've been listening to Conference as I run in the morning. It's a great way to start the day but it doesn't help my time. I find that I run significantly slower than usual and am at times even crying. (I'm sure if it wasn't so early I would definitely turn heads.) But I feel the need to do it. I'm alone with my thoughts and I seek revelation to help me with the day ahead. Today a quote jumped out at me and I knew this was what was going to see me through the deployment-my motto if you will. It was given in the Saturday afternoon session by Elder Russell M. Nelson who was quoting our Prophet Thomas S. Monson.
"I testify to you that our promised blessing are beyond measure. Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith."
My faith determines my future, my destiny. If I have faith and hope in the love of my Heavenly Father and Savior then I am powerful beyond measure. There is nothing I can't do or become.
