I love BYU so much because I am able to feel the Spirit strong enough to cry in a class. My literacy teacher loves to read children's books to us and yesterday he read this book to us. It is about a man who wants to be a clown and he juggles all these colorful balls and keeps the big golden one on the top of the circle the whole time. Then he sees a picture of Jesus and the baby Jesus is frowning. So he gets out the balls and starts to juggle them for the picture. Well he dies and then the baby Jesus is smiling. It is a book about Leonardo Da Vinci because he painted the first smiling Christ Child.
Anyway, my teacher twisted it to us and talked about how many balls we are juggling right now and he said as long as we keep the golden ball or Heavenly Father on the top then we will be able to juggle all the other balls. He even told us that there will be balls that we drop but we can just pick them back up and move on. It is not that big of a deal and we need ot just rely on the Lord and the rest will fall into place.
It was exactly what I needed to hear right now because I am juggling more balls than I can physically, spiritually, emotionally handle.
