In General Conference in April, President Russell M. Nelson talked about having faith strong enough to move mountains. I loved so many quotes from his talk.
"Through your faith, Jesus Christ will increase your ability to move the mountains in your life, even though your personal challenges may loom as large as Mount Everest."
"The Savior is never closer to you than when you are facing or climbing a mountain with faith."
"Truly, faith is the power that enables the unlikely to accomplish the impossible."
"Your flourishing faith will help you turn challenges into unparalleled growth and opportunity."
Emily Freeman is hosting a study on faith and Christ called Inklings for the six months between conference sessions. Her friend made a necklace to help keep this study in mind, and I absolutely love it. It has a real mustard seed embedded in it to remind us that we can start with faith as small as a mustard seed and it can grow as large as a mustard tree.
Recently, I have been wearing this necklace more often than any of my others because there are multiple things in my life right now that are largely outside of my control. I frequently find myself playing with this necklace throughout the day and reminding myself that I can put my limited faith in the Lord and keep moving forward. I know that He is aware of me and my struggles. He knows what I need. I know that He will put people and opportunities in my path that will help me move forward and His Spirit will continue to guide me. I am truly grateful for my faith in Him and it continues to grow as I see His hand in my life more often. And gradually, my mountains are moving.
