Holdling On

I am finding that many days right now seem bleak and are a struggle. I feel like I am constantly in a survival mode. Many days I don't quite know what to do to make it through the day - it literally is a minute or hour at a time. A few weeks ago I came across this quote and I LOVE it.

"If you are ever tempted to become discouraged or to lose faith...Hold on a little longer. You can do this! You are part of a special generation. You were prepared and preserved to live at this important time in the existence of our beautiful planet earth. You have a celestial pedigree and therefore have all the necessary talents to make your life an eternal success story."
"The Lord has blessed you with a testimony of the truth. You have felt His influence and witnessed His power. And if you continue to seek Him, He will continue to grant you sacred experiences. With these and other spiritual gifts, you will be able not only to change your own life for the better but also to bless your homes, wards or branches, communities, cities, states, and nations with your goodness."
"It may be hard to see that at times, but hold on a little longer.... Know and remember this: the Lord loves you. He remembers you. And He will ever sustain those who 'endure to the end'".
Dieter F Uchtdorf, 2nd Counselor, First Presidency Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I love this quote and it has sustained me a lot over the last few weeks. I have felt like the day would go on forever and the sickness will not stop. I remember having a complete break down a week ago. I was sobbing uncontrollably - in severe pain with nausea and throwing up that wouldn't stop. At one point I was saying over and over that I couldn't do this any more. That thought came very quickly to my mind, "Hold on a little longer, you can do this!" I felt a little stronger and knew that eventually it will pass. I wish I could say that the sickness is gone that I feel great. Although I can't say that, yet, I do know that I can get through this.
