because it's impOrtant

I have worked with some pretty amazing people during my college years who have influenced my life greatly. 
I have always valued their opinion and maybe a little too often would ask for it in certain situations. 
One particular conversation has stuck with me however and I feel it's so applicable to every one's life that I would share it.

One of my bosses has been through an awful lot in her life. When I imagine going through the things she has had to, I honestly don't know if I could do it, let alone with the amount of class and poise she demonstrates. Her life is still full of trails and heartbreak; just like every single one of us.

When I asked her how she does it, she said:

"Sometimes you just have to pray every 15 minutes that you'll make it through the next 15 minutes."

It's so simple but yet, so powerful.

I don't know the personal struggles some of you might be facing, but I do know that you don't have to face them alone. 

I know from personal experience that if you ask, Heavenly Father will lighten the sting and heartache of what you might be feeling; big or small.

So get on your knees and pray. Every 15 minutes if you have to.

  1. Great post!!! With great meaning!!

    I am your newest follower~ I just posted about being grateful today. Seems as though we all go through various things in life where we are being tested to see how we pull through, but really it just makes us stronger. Feel free to stop by and say hello sometime!
