My sister Britta told me of this video a few weeks ago. She said the story reminded her of Vinny and me.
She was right.
Lately Vinny and I have been feeling like no matter how hard we push forward, or how much we try to make our life better, something beyond our control will come and push us back down. It's getting exhausting, and I have felt each of us at times just wanting to give up.
I can't even tell you how many times I have watched this video in the past few weeks, but each time I hear him say, "Don't you quit." I feel strong again.
I feel like standing back up and pushing forward.
Maybe it will be the same for some of you. Maybe this video and story will remind you (just as it reminds me) that there really are Good Things to Come.

That was excellent. Boy, don't we all have days, weeks, times when we need to hear this? Thanks for sharing.
I bawled and bawled when I saw this a few weeks ago. I love watching it over and over too! Thanks for being real!
Love it. Exactly what I need right now, thanks for sharing.
Elder Holland actually gave an incredible "Don't you DARE quit" talk at our Stake Conference 2 years back & I have remembered every word.
These 'Mormon Messages' are my favorite.
Sometimes it is so hard when our righteous desires are not met when we feel the need. It is so hard to understand the Lord's time and will.
I feel it, for the both of us, good things are to come, soon :)
Thanks Megan!
You are so motivational. Hey, have you seen the trailor for a real movie called "I Hate Vampires" it comes out August 18. IT is a spoof on Twilight. I can't wait to see it. I wish we could go together.
Love this.
Saw it in R.S. 2 weeks ago.
That made me cry. Elder Holland gives the best talks. Keep your chin up girl. Because the BK King is watching..... and waiting...
I heart this as well, it definitely gives you perspective. You're a talented blogger, fun stuff on here!
