When you've fallen down...

Can I just  see right here how grateful I am for a prophet that lives today to give counsel and guidance  when we need it most?
" there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow when we will grieve and when we may be tested to our limits. However,  such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in a way our heavenly father teaches us, and to become something different  from what we were, more understanding than what we were, more empathetic then what we were, with stronger testimonies then we had before." -- Thomas S. Monson October 2013

Something 2016 has taught me is that a truly repented heart, a truly humbled soul has to literally change. Become more than you were before. Only then can you grow. Can your testimony, your love be, your sight, your heart, etc grow. And that's why we're here...to grow.
