Humbled

Have you ever been so stressed out that you just want to quit? I know that most of you have. I feel like since Christmas trials have been thrown at me left and right. There has been so much going on, so much sickness, stress, craziness, that I just wanted to give up. When Tanner and Gavin both started getting sick again yesterday I just thought to myself, "I am done, I cannot do this anymore. Why does Heavenly Father have so much faith in me?" Then as I was laying in bed last night an image came to my mind. I don't know how many of you have ever seen the movie Facing the Giants but if you haven't I highly recommend it. Michael happened to be flipping through channels one Sunday morning early last year and he saw this movie was coming on. We were getting ready for church so he decided to record it on the DVR. This is the part of the movie that came to my mind last night when I just wanted to give up.




I was humbled when I got online this morning and refreshed my memory of the great object lesson this is. My Father in Heaven does not ask that much of me. All he asks is that I give him my best and my attitude for the past month has not been my best. There are others in the world who suffer greater trials than I ever have. I guess I just needed a little reminder.
