Katie had a good day yesterday. When she doesn't feel well, we carry her up and down the stairs, because she tells us, "I can't make it." I am so used to carrying her up and down the stairs, I automatically reach for her now. I always know when she is feeling stronger and better, because on those days she says, "I can do it myself." I am always glad to hear those words! She looks good and is acting good. I love it! Unfortunately however, we go back in tomorrow morning for more chemo. Our life is like a yo-yo, lots of ups and downs.
"The great test of life is to see whether we will hearken to and obey God's commands in the midst of the storms of life. It is not to endure storms, but to choose the right while they rage. And the tragedy of life is to fail in that test and so fail to qualify to return in glory to our heavenly home...
"It will take unshakable faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to choose the way to eternal life. It is by using that faith we can know the will of god. It is by acting on that faith we build the strength to do the will of God. And it is by exercising that faith in Jesus Christ that we can resist temptation and gain forgiveness through the Atonement." (Henry B. Eyring, "Spiritual Preparedness: Start Early and Be Steady," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 38) Faith is a verb - it is an action word - a principle of power.
