i love joseph smith.

i seriously love joseph smith. he is so amazing and i am continuously so impressed by him.

"All difficulties which might and would cross our way must be surmounted. though the soul be tried, the heart faint, and the heads hang down, we must not retrace our steps; there must be decision of character."

"what god may do for us i do not know, but i hope for the best always in all circumstances."

"god ruleth all things after the counsel of his own will. my trust is in him."

i love the law and law school.

reason #1.

i think the law school encourages really effective learning. i like that.

reason #2.

i feel like the law is somewhat like me.. not perfect and with flaws, struggles every day, but still trying to give my best/what i'm capable of right now. the law, like us perhaps, doesn't need to be perfect. maybe there is something more important than that. :)

words of comfort.

from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf..

"At the time Big Spring, despite its name, was a small, insignificant, and unknown place. And I often felt exactly the same way about myself--insignificant, unknown, and quite alone. Even so, I never once wondered if the Lord had forgotten me or if He would ever be able to find me there. I knew that it didn't matter to Heavenly Father where I was, where I ranked with others in my pilot training class, or what my calling in the Church was. What mattered to Him was that I was doing the best I could, that my heart was inclined toward Him, and that I was willing to help those around me. I knew if I did the best I could, all would be well.

And all was well."

I think that is so encouraging. I really needed to hear that/be reminded of that. :)

remembering the purpose of learning.

"Seek learning, even by study and also by faith." -D&C 88:118
