My mother sent me a talk the other day given by Elder David A. Bednar, of the Quarom of the Twelve Apostles, entitled Fear Not I Am With Thee. I really enjoyed it.
It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry.
I say that to myself every morning.
It will all work out.
If you do your best, it will all work out.
Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future.
The Lord will not forsake us.
He will not forsake us . . .
if we put our trust in Him,
if we will live worthy of his blessings.
He will hear our prayers.

We went to Lake Gaston as a family over the weekend. We relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Samantha and John Derek were determied to get into the 44 degree water Saturday afternoon. Maddison soon followed their example. Here is a video of each of them. As they each made the decision to jump in I was stunned every time. I couldn't believe someone would go in the water that was so cold. They are now part of the Lake Gaston Thornton Family Polar Bear Club!!
"One of the
great lessons of my life came as I served as the president of BYU–Idaho and
faced significant challenges and obstacles during the transition of Ricks
College into a four-year university. I recall listening to President
Hinckley on several occasions counsel doubters, cynics, and critics that
“everything will work out.” And he was right. Everything worked
out—even though we did not know at the time all of the details and specifics."--One of my favorite quotes comes from President Hinckley. Over and over again he says, "It will all work out." Derek and I say that to ourselves and each other almost daily. When things aren't going as smoothly as we would like, when times are just a little tough or stressful we recite that quote, "it will all work out." What is even more amazing is that it does. It always works out. It may not be easy but it works out. Here is the whole quote:
Things work out. It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry.
I say that to myself every morning.
It will all work out.
If you do your best, it will all work out.
Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future.
The Lord will not forsake us.
He will not forsake us . . .
if we put our trust in Him,
if we will live worthy of his blessings.
He will hear our prayers.
