I was listening to the talk “Motions of a Hidden Fire” given by Elder Holland which he gave last General Conference. Something stuck out to me.
My beloved sisters and brothers, since that experience, I have tried to take up my cross more earnestly, with more resolve to find where I can raise an apostolic voice of both warmth and warning in the morning, during the day, and into the night.

He spoke of his wife passing, followed by hospitalization. He expressed that he felt the call to “return to my ministry with more urgency, more consecration, more focus on the Savior, more faith in His word.” He then talks about his attempts to do so.
The part that stood out to me was “FIND”. I realized when I listened to the talk and he said he felt called to stay and testify, that God didn’t exactly lay out a road map for him. Elder Holland needed to seek and “FIND” where he could raise his voice and testify. And he has done so morning, day, and night.
I have thought of my own desire to raise my voice. I haven’t just had things dropped in my lap. I started by raising my voice. Then I have moved to looking for ways I can share it more. But, the hardest part for my self is saying something in the first place. Not fearing that I look foolish doing so. God, will do good with my words.
