Courage

I love the air force memorial. It might be my new favorite. Two weeks ago mom and dad came to DC to see me, and this was one of the pictures I took. After they left, I downloaded my pictures, and was just so glad about the way this one turned out. I like the quote at the bottom “Courage is doing what you are afraid to do.” This rightly describes my life at this time, as I’m currently doing a lot of things that I’m afraid about, and that worry me, but I also am trying to have courage and find peace in those things, too.

Heather used to read this scripture with such vim, so whenever I read it I get a smile on my face, and it makes me happy. It makes me want to hold my fist in the air with a little “Les Mes” determination in my eyes. D&C 128: 22 “Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad.”

Honestly, I feel hopeful about the future. Mom sent me the famous President Hinckley Quote that I just keep repeating in my head over and over. It is comforting. “Things will work out. Keep trying. Be believing. Be happy. Don’t get discouraged. Things will work out!”
