And sometimes I start to worry. I worry about what will happen, what I won't be able to do, or what comes next in years to come.
How do I lower my fear? One word. Faith.

| "Just as darkness is the absence of light, fear is the absence of faith. It is said that even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you." |
What do I have faith in? I have faith that no matter what happens, God is watching out for me. I know that He loves me and won't give me a trial I can't handle. I know that anything I could want out of life is not as good as what God has planned for me. And by choosing to follow that plan, in faith, is like this quote...

| "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Martin Luther King, Jr. |
Like I said before, I don't know where I'll be in a year. I don't see the whole staircase. But I know that I'm heading the right direction if I choose to follow God's plan for me and I am climbing up, step by step. If you have a patriarchal blessing, pull it out and read it sometime! If you don't have one, think about when you want to get it. It has really blessed my life and given me comfort because of the things which are promised to me in that blessing if I live righteously. For those of you that don't know what a patriarchal blessing is, you can read about it here.
"And now as I said concerning faith- faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things. Therefore if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." Alma 32:21
I do not have a perfect knowledge of what my plan in this life is. But I have hope in Christ that it's anything better than I could imagine! I have faith in the gospel, and that the only way back to our Heavenly Father again is through the atonement of Jesus Christ, through faith in Him, and living the gospel.
Keep running!
