Sheri Dew

I like Sheri Dew. I am currently reading on of her books that I borrowed from a friend. It is called God Wants a Powerful People. I love this part of the book.

"But He understood completely that we would have ups and downs. We try to change, start over, make progress in one area and sometimes slip back in others. Some days we live beneath ourselves and need to back up and even turn around, while on other days we zoom forward with confidence and determination, the Spirit as our guide. Some days our faith is strong; other days it can be a litle wobbly. We handle some challenges well, while letting others stall our progress or even get the best of us. But through it all, if we "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ," feasting upon His word and enduring to the end, we will have eternal life (2 Nephi 31:20) Thus, the very nature of the progression suggests we are slowly but steadily moving upward and onword, learning and growing, backing up and turning around, going on to gain more knowledge and experience, elevating our habits, purifying our hearts and motives, and gradually becoming the men and women we are destined to be."

I absolutely love that. It is so true for myself. Some days I do feel like I am zooming and flying high and then there are other days when I feel like my faith is being tested. But I am so glad to know that many people feel like this. And it is OK. And like we know if we just continue on and do our best and work our hardest we will be OK. He will help us and all we have to do is just ask. I am so grateful for books like this that really help me when things seem a little bit tougher that I want to have to deal with.
