It is still surprising to me how much peace I feel. I try to comprehend it as I am still and quiet. Sometimes when I am driving in my car to work or errands I find myself smiling and feeling that peace. I think back to my life over the years and I can not recall a time I have felt this way. It is surreal.
Someone suggested I listen to Elder Bednar's talk from this last conference and I have read it a couple of times since. It makes so much sense to me when he talks about our "loads" (whatever that may be to you or me) being the catalyst for learning. That it is our load that helps us to bear our burdens. It is through trails we are strengthened if we let them so that for us. I know many who have wandered in their trials and I certainly have had my faith tested. I have learned so much over the last couple of years from my trials and the trials of others. I have learned about patience and forgiveness most of all. I have learned that the Lord buoys me up. When I rely on him I feel better, it is as simple as that. I know for some the atonement is a hard concept to understand but I have learned so much from relying on the Lord and feeling of his love. If you haven't read or listened to that talk, you should!
