"If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities."
2 Corinthians 11:30
In Relief Society this last week someone was calling weaknesses opportunities, and it wasn't just blind positivity, but made sense. Our weaknesses and infirmities/challenges are what make us into what we are... much stronger than we would be without them. I think we can see that much better as we look back, because in the moment it is awful, but as we meet each of those challenges, learn the lessons, and adapt, we end up in totally different places that where we would be otherwise. God leads us where he wants us to go through our trials and challenges. Just like the promised land didn't start out as a place of leisure just because it was promised, it became perfect because they built it up and learned more about themselves and the world around them. Today, let's lean in to learning and understand that lots of the things that we struggle with are really blessings that transform us into more amazing people. :)
