I wanted to share my thoughts on some of my favorite talks from this past General Conference so when I was presented the opportunity to make it apart of my homework I was like "absolutely!" Now I don't feel bad for blogging because it counts as a grade. lol.
The quote "We can feel joy regardless of what is happening or not happening in our lives." from President Russell M. Nelson's talk stood out to me so much because it is definitely something I needed to hear. I am so guilty of taking one little thing and making it ruin my whole day or sometimes DAYS. It is absolutely unnecessary because we have so much to be grateful for, for starters. If you really take the time to count your blessings, you will be able to realize this.
"The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives & everything to do with the focus of our lives." It can be incredibly hard to find joy when we are going through trials but no matter the trial when you make Christ your focus, He will bring you joy. I think it's important to realize that that joy doesn't mean the trial won't still be hard and still be sad but the joy will give us peace and comfort to make it through and know things are okay.
