This week was truly inspiring! Many of the readings were about enduring hard times, finding courage, and having a vision. I was especially touched by a devotional given at BYU by Elder Holland and his wife. Elder Holland talked a lot about not becoming weary in well-doing. I want to write that on the wall of my bedroom because I so often feel weary and I forget how much strength the Lord will give me if I simply ask for it. I also loved his mention of leaning on our sword and resting a while before continuing to fight. Sometimes we need to rest, but when the resting is over, we need to get back up and keep doing good.
We started reading "A Field Guide for the Hero's Journey" by Jeff Sandefer and Rev. Robert Sirico. What an amazing compilation of incredible literature, words of encouragement, and pleas to be better and do better. I'm so excited to read more of that book and gain more motivation from it. I was definitely inspired to be courageous, conquer my dragons, and accomplish my life's work - whatever that may be.
This class has been such a gift in my life. I'm learning and growing with every week. I hope it's preparing me for the days and weeks ahead.
