So I realize that I dont actually suck at life. But as of late I feel that way. I am a horrible primary teacher, I suck a being a friend, I have a short fuse with the kids I babysit, I dont want to do my light duty work anymore, and the list goes on and on. I found this quote from Dieter F. Uchtdorf the other day and it got me thinking:
"In stories, as in life, adversity teaches us things we cannot learn otherwise. Adversity helps to develop a depth of character that comes in no other way. Our loving Heavenly Father has set us in a world filled with challenges and trials so that we, through opposition, can learn wisdom, become stronger, and experience joy."
I really like this quote. It pretty much sums up that the things I am going through are just my Heavenly Fathers tests for me. He wouldnt give me something I couldnt handle. I need to know that, and learn from it. Strive to be a better primary teacher, be a better friend, be kind, choose my words wisely and realize that I am lucky to have a job. I am in no way perfect, I wont wake up tomorrow and all my problems will be solved. This I know. But if everyday I work towards a goal, and stick to that goal, eventually I will reach it.
