I CAN do this!

“Opposition turns up almost anyplace something good has happened. It can happen when you are trying to get an education. It can hit you after your first month in your new mission field. It certainly happens in matters of love and marriage. … There are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. … Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I was told to read a talk in this month's Ensign and I think I got out of it exactly what I needed to. It's funny how just as my Father in Heaven knows me, so does Satan. Satan knows when I get stressed, I get discouraged. When I get discouraged, it's hard to be myself. As I get back into the groove of school and homework, I now know that I need to make a constant effort to stay close to my Father in Heaven and if I can do that, then I WILL survive school :)
