Grow!

Turning sixteen comes with a lot of perks.
Your key chain now serves an actual purpose.
You get a better ID picture for your wallet.
You can be legal on the streets.
You can date.
You can earn so much freedom, but there's something else that has been 'earned.'

It can't necessarily be earned.
It must be taken special care of, set out in the Son, watered daily, so when it is ready, it may be shared.
My friends, I have a strong testimony of this church, this gospel.

Fear is an interesting thing. It brings on the Fight or Flight response. I used to just run. I would run far away and come back to beat whatever was scaring me with a stick. Now, I pray. I really pray.

Then, I beat it with a stick. Literally or metaphorically depending on the day.

I promise you, if you are having a rough day, where everything is going against you, don't take it out on your wall. Take it down to your knees, and you will be helped up. I promise.

Watch this before Conference this weekend.
