Today I'm grateful for inspirational stories. I think in our world today it's easy to feel discouraged, overwhelmed, and a little frazzled. I love to hear stories that are inspiring, a story where someone came out on top when their back was against the wall, or someone who beat the odds that wasn't supposed to, or a story where someone survived because of sheer will and determination. Last night I got to hear one of those stories. A lady in our ward who survived a plane crash told our YW of her experience. She said something in her talk that I will never forget. She said, "through this experience there's something I'm absolutely convinced of. No matter what you're dealing with in life, no matter the kind of trial it is, "EITHER YOU BEAT IT, OR IT BEATS YOU." Words we could apply to a lot of life situations. Thanks Karen, for sharing your story with us. You inspired me!
