I recently downloaded this last conference/church meetings and have been listening to talks on my way back and forth to work and during some lunches. Today while the sun shined I sat in my car and listened to a talk by Sister Ann Dibb given during the Young Women's general broadcast. While I know she was talking specifically to the young women of the church, I knew it was also for me. Granted I know I am not 100, but I feel super old and worn out this week. As I sat in the car she told me things my spirit needed to hear, a gentle daily reminder to be patient...
Her talk was focused around the Youth motto for the year : Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Right before that verse in verse 5 the Lord promises Joshua, “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Sister Dibb said "We can find courage and strength in this promise that the Lord will always be there for us and will never leave us alone. "
Sister Dibb also reminded us that King David said these comforting words: “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry” (Psalm 40:1).
She also said that "No matter what you may face in your personal journey, the first guide found in Joshua reminds us to pray, be patient, and remember God’s promise: “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee” (Joshua 1:5)."
I need to have be patient tattooed on my forehead...

give yourself a hug from me! And, forgo the tattoo. Seriously, it makes you a LOT easier to identify in a police line up. :)
Thanks for sharing!
Me too Amy...about the tattoo lol:) You are awesome thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thank you, I needed that!
That is one of my favorite scriptures, "I will not fail thee, or foresake thee." I actually do have that tattooed on me, but I can't tell you where.
