You Go Where You Look

I came across this article on the blog of the Church website. It talked about how a woman was adhered to her future husband’s advice during a bike ride on a mountain trail.

This indeed reminds me that Alvin gave me several years ago about the same advice but it was during I was driving the car on a U-Turn road. He said, “Instead of looking at the road barrier, look where you want to go; the car will follow. This is the same principle that I learned when I ride my motorbike as well.”

It surprised me at that time. It sounded so simple, so I tried to give it a try and focus my eyes on the road ahead instead of the curve road barrier which I was so afraid that I would anytime just bumped on it.

To my surprise, the car went right where I wanted it to go. So I have make it a habit when I drive on any curve or U-Turn road that I should focus my eyesight onto the road where I want to go.

I only come to realised that the Spirit wants to tell me that, it is the same principle that I could apply in my daily living life as well. If I focus my attention on the distractions of the world or my problem or challenges now, I find myself keep on troubling how and why both Issac and Annabelle were come to this stage.

And I find myself spiritually thrown father away from the destination I thought I was heading toward. However, if I strive to think and seek for divine guidance from the Lord on the all the things I can think of and do, I would be strengthened and directed beyond my own abilities.

All I need to do now is to find out what is their current study level status as what Alvin was told me to do. I should focus and get this information out, and further plan from there.

I remember that I did write in my journal not long ago last year about how Jesus Christ walking on the water in the middle of the storm toward His disciples out on a ship. The disciples were initially afraid, but then Peter recognized the Savior.

Peter asked if he could join Him out on the water. And he did! Peter succeed initially walked on the water, but then his focus shifted when he began to notice the wind and waves crashing onto him, and he began to sink.

I think it is the same as the road barrier or the challenges in our life. There will always be obstacles, and they are often frustrating as most of the time, I was not fully understand and comprehend on “Why me?”. Instead, I should learn to look where I want to go, because I go where I look – the same principle as driving in the curvy road or U-Turn road.

When I apply this principle in practical life, look for the solutions and seeking inspiration and direction frequently throughout my day in formal and informal prayer, and then acting upon on that inspiration.

Focusing my attention to the right thing and to the Savior does not make the obstacles go away, but it does make me stronger. The obstacles is the stepping stone that leads me to knowledge. The obstacles is the stepping stones to add on the pebbles of the faith I have.

I feel as this is the continuation of the things or knowledge that Heavenly Father wants me to know since yesterday. He reveals to me that He knows ME. He knows what I have been through. He knows that I am struggling in become the mother that He wants me to be for both Issac and Annabelle. He helps me to know what should I do. He never give up on me, even though I myself almost giving up.
