"Whoever you are,
whatever the circumstances may be,
you are not forgotten.
No matter how dark your days may seem,
no matter how insignificant you may feel,
no matter how overshadowed you think you may be,
your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you.
In fact, he loves you with an infinite love.
Just think of it!
You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful,
and glorious being of the universe.
You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time.
He who created the stars knows your name."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Yeah. It's been awhile since I've been here. On this blog. But I'm back, albeit probably not on the almost daily basis I used to maintain. It is what it is...
Unbelievably, Monday is October 1st, and I am struck by how quickly this year has gone, how much has happened, how much has changed. Life is crazy, life is hard, but life is beautiful - and it really is all of these things simultaneously. Perhaps that's why the passage above spoke volumes to me when I first read it... it gives voice to the difficulties we encounter, the emotions we feel, as well as the hope that exists for us, and should exist within us.
He who created the stars knows your name.
He who created the stars knows our names, knows our struggles, knows our failings, and loves us still.
That's all I've got tonight.
+Peace and good.
