“We focus so much on the problem in front of us… and not enough on the Savior who has overcome it all.” — Elder Alonso
This episode has been resting on my heart since I attended the Farmington, New Mexico Temple media day—a trip I almost didn’t take, but the Spirit whispered clearly: “Yes. Go.”
What unfolded was sacred and soul-deep. I share what I learned about covenant relationship, the beauty and meaning woven into the design of the temple, and the quiet whisper I heard in the celestial room:
“This is your home. You are Mine.”
I also reflect on something my son said while reading Lehi’s dream:
“Maybe anything can be a mist of darkness… if it blocks you from the Tree.”
Even good things can cloud our focus if they pull us away from Christ.
If you're feeling scattered, discouraged, or unsure—this is an invitation to come back to the Tree. To focus not on the problem in front of you, but on the Savior who has already overcome it all.
