Thankful Thursday: Trusting God when we can't see how His promises will be fulfilled

Sometimes I think "once I get past (fill in the blank), life will be so much easier". Sometimes it is, and other times life throws curveballs after new pathways after closed doors after detour signs after... well, you get the idea.

While driving home yesterday, I listened to a talk by one of my most favorite speakers,  Elaine S. Dalton. Though I've listened to this talk before, one part caught me by surprise. She mentioned that the Book of Mormon prophet Nephi thought of his future family even though at the time, he had no prospect for marriage. I could not remember reading that part of the story, and last night had a wonderful experience searching and finding for his story, and applying it to my own life.
