Sister Kristin M. Yee, second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, told Brigham Young University–Idaho students in a devotional on Tuesday, Jan. 28, how she has learned by faith and developed a deeper covenant relationship with God, especially during uncertain times in her life.
“I know the Lord is aware of your needs, your family, your relationships, your concerns, your interests, your gifts and your individual path,” she said in the BYU–I Center in Rexburg, Idaho. “He loves you. And because He loves you, He will never miss an opportunity to love and bless you, including the opportunity to help you to grow.”
Sister Yee said she grew 14 different tomato plants this past summer. After transplanting the plants from their small, temporary containers and putting them in the deep plot of earth, the plants looked sad and leaned over to one side. But Sister Yee took special care, giving them extra water and small sticks to provide extra support.
“These tender little plants began to get root, strengthen and grow,” she said. “When we get transplanted into new places, with new experiences, people and relationships, it takes us a bit of time to acclimate and in some cases to understand why we are there.”
