Deliverance

My newest phone background is a reminder to me that a hard life is normal, but that so is deliverance and divine kindness. 

I hope to remember this week that God is both powerful and gentle!

Affliction, and my phone fast

My scripture of the week is 2 Nephi 2:2.

I've been studying "Affliction" for the last couple weeks, which is how I came across this one. It's a good reminder to me that affliction has a purpose, and that all will be made right. 

On another topic, I decided today to see how much I can avoid using my phone. I have a list of approved apps, which are on my home page, and everything else is off limit for now. The last few weeks and months have been a unique emotional challenge, and I've found myself to be increasingly on my phone, just scrolling. I feel like it would do me good to stop hiding from life, and see how much I can live without my phone, and face things head on.
