"As a mother I have made mistakes. Regardless of culture or country,
we all make mistakes in our mothering.
But through repentance and the atonement
of Jesus Christ, and by continually communicating His love,
miracles can happen, wrongs can be righted. Never give up.
Never let your arms hang down."
I had a hard day.
It was exhausting and frustrating, and I felt like I wasn't measuring up.
Several times throughout the day, I silently excused myself and
went into my closet to pray.
It's incredible how prayer can bring instant peace.
Now, everything didn't magically get better.
I still went to bed that night frustrated and not sure how
my day would be like in the morning.
But the peace I felt while on my knees talking to God was so comforting
and I could confidently go on knowing that
He was on my team, and everything would work out.
And also because I know that "with God, all things are possible."
