Spiritual Sunday: Round I

What have I learned during my senior year?

I've learned to rely on God.

It was towards the end of Christmas break, almost the half way point of the school year.
Everything was weighing down, and especially Presidential duties. Because no matter how hard I worked to be the best President I could be, I still felt like I wasn't doing enough, like I still wasn't making a difference. I prayed and read my scriptures and tried to figure out what was going on, why I didn't feel successful through my endeavors.. why I couldn't do enough.

& it took a while, but lots of prayers later, it clicked. That being the President, was a big job, and I'd been doing it alone. At that point my perspective shifted, rather than asking Him to help me, or asking Him what else I could do, I decided to simply rely on Him: promising that I would continue to work and do everything I possibly could, but allowing Him to help me out by making up the difference.

& He did, and things did change. Because suddenly I wasn't serving as President alone, I was serving with my Savior.
