Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.

Mosiah 4:9

Okay, so the weekly Monday update thing isn't going quite as I hoped. The good news is, I have a computer at home again. The bad news is that through a small glitch I lost my old files...so the archive of old pages is going to have to wait for a little while. Mostly, I'm just glad to be back online and to have everything working properly again.

The moral of the story is: always back up your files.

I apologize to everyone if I seemed a little negative last week; that wasn't my intent at all. The focus of what I wrote was supposed to be that we all need to trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. He has a view of our lives farther and wider than we can comprehend in our current state, and what might seem like a setback at first is often just the setup for something greater than what we had originally hoped for. The key is to simply have faith that He loves us, that we are His children and that He wants to bring us back someday. If you really think about it, the truly important parts of this life are those that will eventually bring us to stand with Him again. In that day, looking back over the course of our lives, we will not care what jobs we had, where we went to school, or how often we hung out with our friends. All that will matter is what we learned during those experiences, how we grew, and how they eventually led us back to our Father. Nothing is more important than getting back to Him and bringing as many people with us as we possibly can.
