Never, never, never give up!

"Never, Never, Never Give Up!"
Mary N. Cook-April Conference 2010

This was a such a great talk to read today.

Totally needed to read this counsel.

I received a priesthood blessing on my birthday last week...best present ever. I was told and promised some really great things for my 34th year. The best thing about it was that I came away with the feeling about my future...

"If you want it....you can have it."

And then I read this talk, and it just re-confirmed the things that I was told...and even gave me extra direction. I was told in my blessing that I needed to keep strengthening my testimony and doing what I was doing through scripture study. Made me thankful for all the recent studying I've been doing and pushed me even more to dig deeper and ponder and apply more.

I loved these quotes...they were direct answers to me in relation to what I need to be doing RIGHT now in my life...

"WHAT DOES THE LORD WANT YOU TO DO?
...be a valiant and virtuous daughter of God
...be dedicated to living each day so that you can be worthy to receive the blessings of the temple...".


"WHAT WILL HELP YOU follow the plan and be a valiant and virtuous daughter of God?
...gain a strong testimony, step by step
...seek the help of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, your family, and others who will support you
...live to be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost".
