Sometimes in life, we come across a problem that seems way too big to solve on our own. During times like these, we may turn to family, friends, and even clergy for guidance and direction.
I am learning that there are times in life when you must figure things out on your own, except your really not completely alone, because our Heavenly Father will help you.
I came across this article in the Ensign the other day, and loved it! Finding Answers by Joseph Fielding McConkie
There is a key phrase in this article that stood out to me, "It is not the design of heaven that we be rescued from all difficult situations, Rather, it is the Lord's will that we learn how to handle them."

Wise counsel--from you and from Brother McConkie--thanks!
Yup, I like how you put that. I pray often that as I think through a decision that the spirit will be with me. So even when I've "figured it out on my own," I know the Lord has had a hand in it. I think that's what you are saying? You just put it a little more beautifully. :)
Tara, I think I was way too heavy on others, looking for an answer or rescueing. I learned this can put a strain on relationships, and more often than not, the only way you can get the answer your searching for is through prayer. That blog entry was pretty vague, but that is what I meant. Thanks for your comments, Dad and Tara.
