Stubborn Umbrella

It was raining, my companion and I were walking up the street.

We try to close our umbrella only to find out it wont stay shut. 

Pull it closed.. it pops open.. 

Pull it closed.. it pops open.. etc.

We are now laughing on the street doing our best at trying to get this stubborn umbrella to close.

Can we be a stubborn umbrella?

God knows our potential / proper function

but do we think we know best and pop back open?

Now is the time to fix our umbrella gadgets so we can fulfill our true purpose.

Alma 34: 32-34

 32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

 33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witness, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.

 34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
