Disarray/Disappointment= Tender Mercy

The past few weeks have been full of
Disappointment
Grief
Pain
Heartache
Tears
Uncertainty
Depression
and a LOT of praying!

Last night I was cleaning out my desk and a piece of orange paper came floating in my lap. The paper was full of quotes but my eyes went directly to this one by Richard G. Scott:
"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in
multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your
disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He
therefore gives you experiences that stiumlate growth, understanding and compassion
which plish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where
He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching and that genreally entails discomfort and
pain."
This quote was certainly a tender mercy and a huge answer to my prayers! Even though I am going to through all of this pain and heartache... I can look towards Heavenly Father and know that the reason He is letting me go through this is because He needs me to grow! I am now thanking him for this amazing trial I am going through!
