So... In my Facebook ventures today, I found a video. No, this wasn't some funny guy or some cat who can play the piano or even some football highlights. But this video changed my perspective.
The theme that the Youth programs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has chosen for the 2014 year is "Come Unto Christ." The video that I found was the theme song that was put together for it.

To be honest, when I came out on my mission, I felt everything that those kids felt, at one point or another. I felt that guilt that just never goes away, or that shame, that anger, frustration, or loneliness. I felt it all. Not to mention depression, stress, fatigue, disappointment, physical pain, feelings of uneasiness, inadequacy, and like I was unwanted.
And not just once or twice. Some weeks, months, even years felt like this. I was struggling with most everything shown in that video, like most teenagers do. And, its tough. I know that, I get it.
Now that most all of my friends are in college and getting married (weird....) I know that sometimes the struggles are different. But I KNOW that Christ is there.
I want to shed some more light on this subject, but first I want to ask my readers,
How have you dealt with your struggles in the past?
