Don't Give Up

After reading all my blogs you could have seen that I was having terrible week after horrible week etc. I was on a downward spiral to bitterness. Well, after sharing my testimony in church things just seem to be lifted. I am still feeling hurt before I drift into the bliss of sleep but the days changed. Things started going my way, people were kinder, many things that cheer me up just happened. Snow, mint hot coco, finishing homework early so I can play the piano & flute, and of course a crush of mine talked with me for a while ( yeah I have a couple ). I do have a testimony now of how you should never give up. Even in the darkest of nights of silent tears and pain to the soul Christ lifts you up. I was given a message in seminary ( 6 am bible study for my non-LDS readers) that I couldn't stop pondering. He did bless me. Not how I would ever imagine but I was. I am eternally grateful. Things now are just looking a little more cheerful. I am on the climb up to where I was. How do I get there? CHRIST!! Friends and family can help all the ways the can but in the end I must rely on Christ and our Heavenly Father. Especially now that finals are coming up and the stress level is rising, turn more to him. With him anything is possible.
Instead of my quotes that I usually put I want to put a song that just inspired me while I was down. I imagined Christ singing this to me. It really touched my heart. It is called You Are Loved by Josh Groban.
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy I, I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you I,
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside I, I'll be there to find you
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I,
I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
You are loved Aaaah
Don't give up
Its just the weight of the world (You are loved)
Don't give up Everyone needs to be heard (Don't give up)
You are loved (You are loved - Don't give up)
