1 Nephi 3: 10-31; 4:1-3.

I remember it vividly. It was a stormy Tuesday evening, rain lashing against my window, much like the tempest within my own heart. The calling before me seemed insurmountable, a constant reminder of my past failures. The weight of those letdowns bore down on me, casting shadows that threatened to eclipse any flicker of hope.

Could I dare to venture forth again, even when the very thought sent shivers down my spine? The rational part of me, the voice of experience, demanded that I heed the lessons history had etched into my soul, to give in to the temptation of walking away from what seemed impossible. But just like the unwavering voice of faith that spoke to those ancient travelers, there was a persistent whisper within my heart. It urged me to push forward, to defy the weight of past disappointments, to embrace audacious belief in my own strength.

"Let us go up again," it repeated, resonating through the chambers of my heart. And so, with bated breath, I delved into the story, eager to find the courage and strength to face my own impossible tasks and to discover, within its ancient verses, a wellspring of hope for my very own journey.

I sat on my back porch, overlooking the tiny landscape that made up our backyard.

I could feel my cheeks threatening to burn red, as heat rushed to my face. I had not backed down from my belief but I could feel my friend starting to bristle in quiet frustration and possible anger. I took a deep breath, and my mind flickered quickly to the Lord's promise to Lehi: that he would be made mighty because of his faith. I knew my path of learning faith was not without its thorns, and more than ever Lehi's sacrifice resonated as its own fire within my bones. In this episode, we see that to stand resolute in faith might mean confronting loss, but that the Lord's embrace is always nearer than we think.

The wind and rain raged outside, the kitchen bulb above me was the only light on that late evening, and I sat alone at our worn wooden table staring at the page. My home meant everything to me - my girls, my husband - and to lose it was a pain I didn't want to imagine. There, in the aged verses before me, Lehi painted a harrowing scene of his home's destruction.
