Ok, I'm inspired

I closed the book and said out loud, "Ok, I'm inspired". It was "No One Can Take Your Place" by Sheri Dew.
* In effect, this mortal course is the final examination for all of the life that we lived through in this infinite premortal period.
*It takes the elect to gather the elect. That is who we are. And no one can take our place in doing it. No one, absolutely no one, can do what we have been sent here to do.
*Neither the timing nor the placement of our advent into mortality is accidental or capricious. We are where we are supposed to be.
* The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts. (Maxwell)
**No one but you can determine if you will be firm in the fire. No one but you can determine if, at all costs, you will in this sphere stand loyally by God and by Jesus and will not flinch.

Well, I plan to give it one heck of a go!

Thanks for sharing those quotes. I once bought that book and then I left it in my next class at BYU. When I came back 2 hours later it was gone. hmph. Now I don't feel like buying it again.
