We began class by looking at a scripture in Alma 62:41

It talks about the 2 ways people responded to the same trial. The war was looong.

Many were hardened by the great length of the war.

Many were ALSO softened because of their afflictions insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility.

The exact same trial-a looong war between the Nephites and Lamanites had very different outcomes.

One built faith and humility while the other responded with pride and bitterness.

It is difficult for me to believe some of the choices David has made. I don't think anyone's hurt me so personally before. It made me feel horrible BUT I still love myself and I'm grateful for that. I think I am fabulous even if David doesn't think so.

I trust the spirit will strengthen and help me to be kind even after all this. ESPECIALLY after all this because this is going to be a stepping stone NOT a stumbling block.

I am grateful for the insight I received today. I am going to handle this appropriately even as it kills me.
