this would get a person down, right? right. but. then i read a talk by elder jeffrey r. holland, and in it this beautiful sentence jumped out and burrowed itself in my heart.
there is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized.
no dream. that cannot yet be realized.
lately i have been pondering these dreams/goals/hopes of mine, and it hit me. i always keep trying to make this dream woman come to life. and i will probably never quit trying. and that's the point of life, isn't it? to keep trying.
i do believe that i can achieve my dreams. someday. and that's ok. i can wait. in the meantime i will keep trying.
I believe in imperfection. No matter what, you are great just the way you are :)
ReplyDeleteoh man, this whole posts really resounds with me. i feel the exact same way! it is so frustrating to have an idea of who you want to be and to fail in making it happen over and over and over and over (etc.) again. i think it comes down to the part of that quote that says "in the unfolding of time and eternity". i think our schedule for our development is MUCH different than Heavenly Father's plan for our development. i love you lenny!
