Faith and Big Dreams
Week10
What I Learned:
This week's readings felt like an answer to my prayers. I have been striving to know what career path to choose, and the career path I desire to pursue requires much hard work and more years in school than I ever used to plan on attending. I had felt the Lord's confirmation of this career path at a previous time, and I knew I desired this path, so I felt pretty strongly that this path (to become a Nutritionist) was one that would be good for me and my family. However, in the last couple of weeks and at the beginning of this week, I felt very inadequate. I didn't believe in myself and in my abilities to push through with more schooling and start my own practice as a Nutritionist. I didn't have faith in myself to be able to accomplish these big dreams I had, and I wasn't implementing faith in Christ and His ability to help me to do and become more than I am now. I was asking the Lord at the beginning of this week if I should pursue this career path and if I would actually be able to do it all. I then came upon this week's readings that emphasized our need to dream big dreams and to be persistent and courageous in what we are pursuing.
I learned that becoming all that we and the Lord desire for us to become is a challenge, but it is a challenge that is worthwhile and joyful-one that brings more light, meaning, and goodness into our lives. I also learned that we need to understand our emotional fingerprint and cope with our inner emotional states/pains so we may succeed and achieve, and find joy and light, more and more each day.
What I Need to Learn:
I need to learn how to cope with the things that are paining me internally and emotionally. I also need to stop and be mindful/aware of what is going on inside me so I may stop trying to push myself beyond the strength I have and start having more joy and compassion for myself, and to use the time I do have in the wisest way I can. I also need to learn to have more faith in myself and my abilities, and more faith and trust in our Heavenly Father that He can and will consecrate my efforts, help me to have the strength to keep enduring and pushing forward, and help me to overcome my weaknesses that they may become strengths.
