Life's "Red Sea" Moments



I had one of my sweeter (and perhaps more important) "ah-ha" moments last weekend. I wish I had a way to really articulate what the Lord did for me...
what He taught me...
what He showed me.

I tried to articulate that in my latest blog post for TOFW.com.

You can read it here.

I think when all is said and done, I'm really really grateful for a patient Father who never tires of giving us just what we need.

And I'm also grateful for Elder Holland.

Sometimes I think the Lord had me live on the earth now because He needed Elder Holland to be on the earth now...and, well, He just knew how much I would need to be living on the earth at the same time as Elder Holland.

Laurel,

I really needed this today.

REALLY.
NEEDED.
THIS.

Fear and Doubt have been crippling me the past few weeks. I've been in a state of anxiety and constant fear over my surgery next week. I've been trying to be faithful but I keep falling back in to that place...

"Is this it? Am I going to die? Is this the last week of my life? Will my children survive without me?"

I know it sounds dramatic, but I have really been having some major doubts and I have been overcome with fear.

I needed this talk today and I needed your post.

Thank you.

Just said a prayer yesterday asking that I not live from a place of fear. Reading this today was just what I needed. Loved you TOFW post and loved the article. Thanks!

Hi, I'm Juli. I started "blog stalking" you because my friend met you at TOFW in Australia and she was just so impressed with you. Anyway, I just have to comment because I feel the exact same way about Elder Holland! That man just speaks to my soul!!!
