"When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities. When He doesn't solve them, He has faith in yours."

In my amazing institute class this morning, we watched one of those bible videos of our Savior raising Lazarus from the dead. It was truly such a significant miracle that took place and thinking about what it would have been like to be one of those witnesses... I would be absolutely in awe of knowing for myself that my Savior, Jesus Christ lives and regardless of whatever struggles we are currently facing in life, He will always be there for us. If I were present in the time of Jesus Christ raising Lazarus from the dead, I would probably be at peace knowing that I had just witnessed not one of the many miracles performed by our Savior and wanting to tell everybody I knew. I'm really grateful for the blessings that have come into my life this past year and having a better perspective-- on how the Savior continues to play an important role in our lives. I know some of the things I have experienced myself may not have been what I wanted, but at the same time recognizing the hand of the Lord and coming unto Him in every situation. I am not trying to come across being too preachy here or anything of that nature, but I want those people who may not be of my faith that I know my Savior, Jesus Christ will never leave us alone in anything we are facing. I know he is always gonna reach out and want to help me along this journey of life that we all need to get through. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this gospel and the peace it brings me every single day...It warms my heart to know that I can make it to the end knowing I did my best. 

I shared this quote earlier today with my institute class and the simplicity of it means more to me, than I probably could have ever imagined. I love how when God solves our little problems, that we have faith in His abilities to guide us in the right direction and to believe in him-no matter what it is going on. There is always going to be a way for us to get through our trials in life and have the faith to rely on our Savior to help us make it from where we could be, to where we are right now. I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life and feeling very much at peace with knowing what my purpose here on this earth is meant to be.
