My thoughts constantly revert back

We have semi's come every once in a while to deliver our product, to which we unload onto pallets and it's moved to various places in the warehouse to be scanned in. We're all called in to unload the container. Today I was getting so exasperated because I like to take a few extra seconds to make sure the bottom is solid. As anyone would tell you, if the foundation is faulty, it just won't work. I was frantically running in circles to make sure that we didn't have a leaning tower or boxes jetting out at awkward angles- but making sure that foundation is solid. It makes things difficult for the forklift to move them if they could tumble at any given moment.

And then words came flooding into my mind, about having a sure foundation in Christ. And I just remembered that the scripture that was really coming to mind, the one that I was attempting to remember... And that scripture that repeated in my mind again and again was from Helaman 5:12

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty story shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." (emphasis added)

It was an interesting thought at work and my brain had it on a loop. Then I started associating other things to the foundation, and seeing what I was leaning on- the core values I have that make up my very being. I look around me and see the things I have gained by my faith in my Savior and what I will never have to deal with because of my belief and standards. We all have the ability to choose. I choose this.

Mormon 9:25

"And whosoever shall believe in my name, doubting nothing, unto him will I confirm all my words, even unto the ends of the earth."

Time for shleeep.
