Life's Story...

I found this quote from the general Young Womens Broadcast on this blog that I read sometimes (more like blog stalk but come on, who doesn't :)). I can't wait to read the whole thing when they get it posted on the church website. From what I can find online his talk was about how overcoming adversity is the key to "happily ever after". I just loved this quote, it was a nice reminder to keep your chin up and keep going. Enjoy!

"Why must all experience sadness and tragedy? Why could we not simply live in bliss and peace, each day filled with wonder, joy and love? In stories, as in life, adversity teaches us things we cannot learn otherwise. Adversity helps to develop a depth of character that comes in no other way."
"None is exempt. You will suffer, be tempted and make mistakes. You will learn for yourself what every heroine has learned: through overcoming challenges comes growth and strength.
"It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself that determines how your life's story will develop."

- Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said at the Young Womens General Broadcast on Sunday March 28, 2010
