"He is mightier than all the earth...then why not mightier than this."

where is my faith?

"the final outcome is certain - the forces of righteousness will finally win. 
what remains to be seen is where each of us personally, 
now and in the future, will stand in this fight - 
and how tall we will stand.
great battles can make great heroes, but heroes will make great battle.

you will never have a better opportunity to be a greater hero
in a more crucial battle than in the battle you will face today
and in the immediate future.
be warned that some of the greatest battles you will face
will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul."

sometimes faith comes easier than other days,
sometimes i don't even realize i don't have faith.
but then i realize that these battles within my soul and without - 
are tearing me down, 
my soul has become weary.

again where is my faith?

"He is mightier than all the earth...then why not mightier than this."

i love the simple words of the scriptures
the power that flows from a phrase or even a word;

"for the Lord God will help me,"
- 2 nephi 7:7

i found myself today

Or rather…

 i found a part of me that i’d like to root out
i’d like to gut it out, trench it out, cry it out
anything but have it live inside of me

along with this gut wrenching desire I felt a sense of enlightenment
a sense of moving forward, moving towards a goal

because as painful as the knowledge is
the knowledge of this awful part of myself

if i didn’t see it,
if i didn’t recognize and acknowledge it for what it was
how could I begin to change? 

how could i hope to be better, if i didn't realize i needed to be better?
