A week ago I was asked to give a talk about overcoming adversity later on this month. I'm actually excited to speak. Not many people can say that. What I'm more excited about is that this topic isn't music. (I've always been given the topic of music to speak about in the past.) Well, as I've been pondering about what I want to say, knowing that everybody goes through adversity, this video came to mind. It's from a conference talk by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. This is only a blurb of the whole talk, and if you have a chance to listen to the whole thing I encourage it, but this is one of the parts that stood out to me the most. It seems that my family, as well as myself and Anthony, are going through a lot of adversity, often times it seems too much to handle. The thing to remember is keeping perspective. The Lord is aware of each of us and what we are all going through. We need to keep the faith and change our way of thinking to "Come what may and love it". This is something that I've been working on personally and wanted to share it with all of you.
