Life doesn't always exactly go according to plan. There are things thrown in the mixture that turns it sour. Often they're really hard things that take time to heal. Know this: it can be overcome. It can be dealt with. You can heal. Yes, you will have scars, and yes, it will usually take a lot of time, but you will heal and you will have learned. If you've read my blog from the beginning you'll know that a couple of years ago I had a sour mixture for a while. But I overcame it. Not alone; oh, no, not at all! I turned to my Savior, Jesus Christ, and He was able to help me overcome it. But I still have scars. I still remember. But I've learned. And I move on. Sometimes, it's not that simple. Sometimes, it's a sickness, or a death, or both: a sickness that will end up with death. And that's hard. I'm not going to say it's not, because that's a lie. Watching someone you love die is hard. But with our Savior, we know several things:
1) We know that they will live again and be fully healed.
2) We know that they did nothing wrong to deserve it--this is just their trial.
3) We know that our Savior loves them and has a plan for them.
4) We know that there is something to learn from this experience--whether it be to trust in God, or to turn to God, or whatever it is that we learn, we know there is something to learn.
Life doesn't always go exactly the way we planned it--sometimes a sour bit is thrown in the mixture. However, there is also sometimes a sweet bit thrown in the mixture. These are called blessings. And sometimes what we think is a sour bit is actually on the path that leads us to sweet bits, and vice versa. Life is an unexpected journey, full of twists and turns. But if we rely on our Savior, Jesus Christ, we can, in our own time, overcome and be healed.
