Sun Rise v.s Light Switch

My sister in law Lindsey (check out therhouse.blogspot.com) prepared an awesome lesson for her young women. Unfortunately only two showed up, little did she know that much of who she was preparing for was me...

Elder Bednar gave a talk called "The Spirit of Revelation". He says we want revelation to come to us like a light switch in the words of my SIL "BOO-YA". But really how revelation comes more like a sun rise. It takes time, line upon line.

This is hard to accept in our day. We are a generation of high speed, fast past life style. My nephew while turning on my laptop kept yelling "NOW, NOW, NOW" trying to command the computer to turn on as it was slowly booting up.

We want answers to come now and want them to be the answers we have already made up in my mind. But look at how beautiful a sun rise is.



What would you choose... A light bulb or this?

I am not perfect in remembering that the sun rise is the best especially when things are not going how I would like them to. Sometimes I wish I could just get the light switch turned on and know exactly who my hot hubby will be or where I will be when I graduate but I do know that Heavenly Father has a plan. The sun will rise and clear the clouds one day but for now I am going to enjoy the ride and just know that the sun will soon be shinning brightly from above.
