700

"I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things;" (Alma 26:11-12). I have written and shared a spiritual thought every day for the last 700 days. That's 100 weeks straight! I bring this up not to brag about how great of a writer I am or how amazing my consistency or commitment have been, but to marvel at and revel in my Heavenly Father's unfailing goodness. Like Ammon and the other sons of Mosiah, given my past failures and current struggles I am not an obvious candidate for sharing the gospel. I know that I am a broken vessel, an impure conduit, a guttering candle shining through a glass darkly. I know that as to my own strength I am weak. But that doesn't matter because in my God's strength I can do all things. There have been many times over the past two years that I have been in awe at the light and wisdom that the Lord has revealed to me and I have been so grateful to share it with all of you as clearly and as articulately as my fumbling fingers and imperfect mind could manage. I hope and pray that the Lord will continue to allow me to share His light and knowledge and love with all of you for another 700 days and more besides. I love my Heavenly Father and I love all of you and I am so grateful that I have been allowed to share a little of God's wisdom each and every day.
