On my mind...

A few days ago Ryan texted me at 6 in the morning (RUDE!) with an amazing quote. So I forgave his rudeness. It's no secret that Jeffrey R. Holland is one of my favorite speakers, and this quote really drove the point home.

"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities.

God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe." 



I know with all my heart that this man is inspired. I feel the spirit so strongly every time he speaks! His words always always ALWAYS bring tears to my eyes.


ESPECIALLY these ones:
