Blocks to Heaven

This is a comic idea,

I have been thinking about this a lot,

and in my Mission Prep class taught by Brother Bott (one of THE best Teacher in BYU!! Highly recommended for all BYU students!!)

has brought up a point on his "Monster of Depression" lecture that

"Things God placed in your path to help you get back to Him becomes stumbling blocks when you become depressed".

And that statement he made completed this idea--

that God places stepping blocks to help us draw closer to Him,

but sometimes our lack of faith turns them into stumbling blocks and we despair because they are too big to overcome.

But God has sent many helping hands to help us step over those big blocks in life,

take those hands, especially our Lord Jesus Christ's.

When trial hits, weak faith can be discovered which can be strengthened by turning to God for help,

once the trial is over, faith is stronger than before.

Trial brings us an opportunity to draw closer to God,

Therefore, trials are blessings in disguise.

I did a quick sketch so that I wouldn't forget about the idea (since I don't have time to work on it right now due to preparing for the BYU Animation program Application Portfolio, preparing for my mission, and other things in my life), and I have finally got around to a scanner to post it!

Hope this post has served as more than just a record of my idea, because I think having such attitude can take us really far :)
