Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
With patience bear the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

This beautiful rendition performed by the well known Utah native, David Archuleta has become one of my most favorite songs to listen to of all time!!! I am so grateful for the powerful voice that he carries throughout this song and proclaiming a message of how our Savior, Jesus Christ is always on our side. He definitely bore all of our many burdens, tribulations, and everything we could not even begin to fathom ourselves alone going through while trying to do what Heavenly Father asked him to do. His continuous faith will remain with us whenever it feels almost unbearable to move forward in life's challenges and the blessings that come along with it too. I'm definitely not ever giving up on my Savior who continues to make it possible for me to strive in becoming more like him on a regular basis. He has certainly lead me into joyful ends more than once, after having faced some extremely difficult times in life that I never deserved to see myself go through. 

I am truly blessed to have been raised up in the church throughout my life and keeping a testimony of him with every trial that comes up in my path. I know this covenanted path isn't ever going to become any easier or let alone not have any stumbling blocks along the way, but it is through the one who knows me better than I can even begin to put into words about how things are going to turn out. I still have a lot more lessons to learn as everything that comes into my life teaches me something I need to understand.

He is going to provide a way for me and all of his children to return back to him, when the end of our mortal journey comes around. It is never impossible to not recognize his hand in our lives, when it feels like nothing more can wear us down without making us a little stronger and confident. I know that my life is never gonna necessarily turn out as well as I would prefer it to be at times, but he is in charge of how we choose to look around at our trials and understand that it is not quite as difficult as it may seem. 

I may never fully comprehend exactly how tough it must have been for him, to suffer all of the pains that we've ever had to face on this earth upon himself so we could endure through each of our spiritual journeys. I know it could never possibly become any harder for me to not snap my fingers and wish for those times to disappear--- but I am grateful to have the knowledge that I do in this world. I know that anyone who has passed onto the other side of the veil, is never too far away from me and continues to remind me of what I'm able to do in making some impact on others that surround me in my life. I know none of them could not imagine me not enduring through all of the many challenges that will never be a problem anymore, and just be completely made whole. This year has taught me many times about how fragile life is and holding onto those loved ones a little tighter, because we may not know when it could be their last day on this earth. 

With this heartbreak that is most likely going to take awhile for me to recover from, I know that any girl whose been through it can easily relate to what it feels like to deal with a situation like it. I am confident that there are only more lessons to take away from this experience and hopeful to meet another guy who can treat me in the right appropriate manner. I know there is a lot more for me to fully understand whenever it comes to being in a relationship with a guy and will not find myself rushing into something I wouldn't feel prepared for. Surprisingly, there has not been a tough time for falling asleep at night when this on my mind and wish it could easily fade itself away some place else. I know that when all of these feelings completely disappear out of my life and I'm willing to keep my trust in the Savior throughout it all.
