I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!

In life we are faced with challenges everywhere we turn. To quote a very wise woman "Christ had people stone him and hurt him but he still loved them and never said bad things about them." This wise woman went on to say "You can do hard things" As I face a very hard week with a lot on my plate and more and more getting put on it I find myself doing hard things all the time. How do we get through these hard things? I may not have an answer to that question beside the fact that I can do hard things.
Today on my way to Idaho Falls to teach one of my fellow teachers shared this song:

(Child) Teacher*, do you love me?

Teacher*, will you care for me?

Even if I turn away, or disobey, or go astray,

Then will you love me still?

Teacher*, will you teach me?

Teacher*, help me choose the right.

When I do not understand the Lord's command, please take my hand

And lead me safely with his light.

(First time child only.)

I need your love, I need your light

To show me how to be like Jesus.

The Savior's love will light the path

To lead me safely home.

(Teacher) Oh yes, my child, I love you.

My child, I'll always care for you.

And with the Savior as our guide,

I'll share the light I feel inside,

And you will feel his love for you.

Oh, yes, my child, I'll teach you.

My child, I'll help you choose the right.

And when you do not understand

The Lord's command, I'll take your hand,

And he will lead us with his light.

I need your love, I need your light

To show me how to be like Jesus.

The Savior's love will light the path

To lead us safely home.

I think that this song is something that we all need to keep in mind as we do hard things. One of my favorite lines is "I need your love, I need your light". Even if things are hard there are those around us that need our love and our light. 

So when you go through challenges just remember I CAN DO HARD THINGS, because those around me need my love and light.
