Today in seminary we had a really great lesson. It was over 2 Corinthians 4-6 (that being the chapters), and I felt I should be sharing my experience.

For starters I really liked the scripture 2 Cor. 4:16 that reads:
"...but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day."

I like this because it reminds me that even though we might have had a hard yesterday, and our bodies might be exhausted, we can start a new and still be happy today. I like this philosophy and is something that I try to live by, always have (but now I have a scripture to go a long with it). Being happy is something that everyone should do. I've experimented and have since found that being optimistic and smiling even in the face of tough trials, it is a lot easier to get through my day. By being mad or depressed causes stress to come more often and my body to feel sore faster and everything just becomes worse and I start singing Daniel Powter (and no body wants to hear that thanks to American Idol).

So that's my recommentdation to all you who read this. Stay happy. Life my be full of trials but as Nephi says: "...I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

God be with you till we meet again.

Sincerely,
Your beloved Mormon Girl
