Thank you for the article, my faith at times is such similar to Elder Lee, “Seeing now way to move in the direction I was taught to go, but the answer to my troubled faith is to want to see the end from the beginning, and with that in mind always want to be certain where I am heading,” as I desire to save time and resources. I NOW learn that “I must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before me.”
At times I fear after the trial of my faith I may drift further off track?
I then hope what is mentioned in Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Again, an eye opener for me and thank you for sharing!

As President Charles W. Penrose declared at a general conference death of President Joseph F. Smith:
"Why waste your time, your talents, your means, your influence in following something that will perish and pass away, when you could devote yourselves to a thing that will stand forever? For this Church and kingdom, to which you belong, will abide and continue in time, in eternity, while endless ages roll along, and you with it will become mightier and more powerful; while the things of this world will pass away and perish, and will not abide in nor after the resurrection, saith the Lord our God."[CR, June 1919, 37] Quoted by Dallin H Oaks/BYU Devotional, Jan 2002
