Irony

I do believe that Heavenly Father has a sense of irony.

Last week was rough for me. I was not in a good place.

Then something funny happened on Monday.

I was at work at the best job in the world. Part of what I am working on right now is some trainings. So, I look up this week's topic. It was about reframing your mindset. And guess what was one of the readings. I will give you a hint- it is the title of this blog and my favorite talk of all time. Come What May and Love It! I find it ironic that this was put into my path the week when I needed it most. I am so grateful that I got to read over it again.

I would like to write down a part that I enjoyed this time reading it through...

"Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorry is part of our on-the-job training. These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others. Because Jesus Christ suffered greatly, He understands our suffering. He understands our grief. We experience hard things so that we too may have increased compassion and understanding for others."

Have my own insecurities disappeared? No. Not at all. But you know something....that is totally okay! That is amazing actually. As I re-read through this talk, I was able to understand Heavenly Father's plan for me a little bit more. I was able to get a glimpse of eternity.

So how can I overcome these insecurities now? For now, I am living by my favorite phrase of 'come what may and love it!' I am taking it one day at a time. One thing at a time. I am counting my blessings. I am laughing in the face of adversity. I am trying to bless the lives of others. As I do this, I am happier.

I am so incredibly grateful for a Heavenly Father who blesses me with these experiences and shifts in mindset.

So as life comes at you, I hope that you too can remember these words:

"As we look for humor, seek for the eternal perspective, understand the principle of compensation, and draw near to our Heavenly Father, we can endure hardship and trial. We can say...

Come what may and love it."
