Motherhood often feels like a solitary place.

You are surrounded by little people all day, and yet you can feel pretty lonely.

I have felt this, a lot.

I’ve also had other solitary moments in my life where I may have looked fine, or been surrounded by friends, but I still felt all alone.

Have you felt like this before? Or maybe, do you feel it right now?

Attending school, being given certain callings… these things can lead us to feel like we are in a solitary, draining place.

And honestly, it’s hard to feel like I can give service when I’m feeling drained and alone.

I don’t feel like getting out there and being proactive and doing things.

But the Savior is real.

He can take my solitary place and give it the nutrition that it needs.

To give it the light that it needs to still grow, even if it’s all alone.

To recognize that even when I feel completely drained, the Savior makes it possible for me to still give.

And not just give, but to be overflowing with ABUNDANCE.

“Therefore, will I not make solitary places to bud and to blossom, and to bring forth in abundance? saith the Lord.” D&C 117:7

He sees you in your lonely place.

But he doesn’t want you to stay there.

He wants to see you blossom and bring forth abundance, even when it seems impossible.

Because honestly, impossible is what Jesus does.

Happy Studying!
