Only in working

November 12, 2008

I’ve been asked to give a 30 minute presentation two times tonight on my mission.  In preparation, I’ve been reading through some journals from that time.  I’ve hit a few things that have really struck me.  And I think that in reading from that time I am finding guidance for this time.  Anyway, here is one passage that still rings true from October 7th, 1997:

“I realized today that it is only in working, in doing all that you can do for something that you can clearly see the hand of God.”

There is something about pushing to your very limits that makes it possible to discern the miracles and see very clearly that they are out of your control.
