Carol Lynn Pearson – Why I Stay

[silentstruggle]

I just came across this recent Sunstone Article by Carol Lynn Pearson and thought it might be useful for this forum.

There are lots of things to ponder here, but I love this quote:

Quote:

“You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you have lost something.” [/quote]- George Bernard Shaw.

And this:

Quote:

“I also believe an important reason that I am able to stay is that in some ways I do not stay. I do not stay in concepts that I do not accept. I do not stay in traditions that I do not believe in. I move, in my own very imperfect way, toward the horizon that truly calls to me.”

That is a great quote. Thanks.

Yeah I loved this one, I book marked it. So many inspiring words to live by. I love the Stayers who have gone on before us. I really do walk in their light.

I love Sister Pearson and her insights.

I am reading Stay LDS during Stake Conference .. (Don’t judge).

Just read this link to Carol Lynn Pearson’s article. Today I needed it.

Surely, there are people here today who are feeling touch by the spirit and inspired.

I am not on that list.

Waste of two hours of my life …

But the Pearson article will be food for thought for quite a while

I would have last Stake Conference, but there were so many people I couldn’t get a connection WiFi or cell data connection.

I move, in my own very imperfect way, toward the horizon that truly calls to me. I believe the best thing I received from my pioneer ancestors was not a destination, but an invitation. They gave me the model of being a pioneer and encouraged me to follow in their footsteps.

Ya just gotta love it. :clap:

In many ways I just love the article. It’s well worth a read. Here’s the link again, so you don’t have to search back to find it.
