Having had struggles with my back for many years, I know the importance and help it would be to have my Core (physically) strengthen. Having had 4 C-sections hasn't helped that goal of mine, still I continue to try. Some day, in not too distant future I hope, that I can start doing YOGA and strengthen my core more.
So I think what I have learned from watching so many incredible people make it and not only make it through their trials... but THRIVE, that they continually strengthen their CORE FAITH, with the exact things that helped them develop FAITH, in the first place. They pray, they study the scriptures, they try to do a bit better every day, they try to keep the commandments, they repent of their mistakes, serve Others and trust their God not to give them any more than they can handle. They keep doing the basics and that gives them HOPE and STRENGTH to keep going. I love this quote from
D. Todd Christofferson he tells what he learned from his trials... “Though I suffered then, as I look back now, I am grateful that there was not a quick solution to my problem. The fact that I was forced to turn to God for help almost daily over an extended period of years taught me truly how to pray and get answers to prayer and taught me in a very practical way to have faith in God. I came to know my Savior and my Heavenly Father in a way and to a degree that might not have happened otherwise or that might have taken me much longer to achieve. … I learned to trust in the Lord with all my heart. I learned to walk with Him day by day.”
I know that it is important for me to get up every day and do the basic work out to strengthen my SPIRITUAL CORE! I was grateful for this reminder today! Good night dear friends!
