Tina took the above pictures to document the process of her mole removal. She graciously agreed to let me share them here, hoping that they might help someone else going through something similar. What if we would choose a current trial, focus on it, document it, and embrace the battle scars. If I did that, I can imagine my looking back on my life from heaven would be different than if I just carried on as usual. Deep thoughts. I love it. What do you think?
Don’t give up. Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of... Jesus Christ, they come. -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I try to tell myself that battle scars are 'cool' :) it just proves what we've been through- all of the experiences we've had! but with that being said- I don't agree with the idea that we are only as strong as the trials we endure and overcome. I believe I am as strong as I train myself to be. Strength can come as a result of intense training and hard work- just as easily as it can come through the experiences of a trial.
What wonderful, insightful thoughts. While I certainly wouldn't ever wish for my battle scars, I also wouldn't trade them away either.
