JOY

Today is Sunday, which marks the end of another crazy week. 

With me getting sick this week its been a tough one to get through. I don't know what it is but when ever I am limited physically it messes with my head. I have been so foggy in the head that simply going to the gym to hit legs was a stretch. I woke up today with barely a voice. There is nothing so delightful as laryngitis. Even though this has been a bit of a struggle for me I have still tried to find joy during this time. Last Sunday my sister and I had the privilege to attend the Sunday session of General conference. One talk that hit home, was Elder Russel M. Nelson's. 

"Life is filled with detours and dead ends, trials and challenges of every kind. Each of us has likely had times when distress, anguish, and despair almost consumed us. Yet we are here to have joy?

Yes! The answer is a resounding yes!

Saints can be happy under every circumstance. We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad year!"

I love how he puts this. This really resonated with me. I often am so impatient with myself and with God's timing that I am constantly looking for the bigger and better event that should be coming next. Joy can be found in the hardest and trying of times through my Savior. 

I am so grateful for my Savior and what he sacrificed as he took upon himself my sins. I cannot fully understand what he went through, but I do know that He is always there with me. Even when I feel alone. He knows how I am feeling.
