Blessings

It is amazing to me that in the midst of trial the hand of God has never been more evident in my life. I know it isn't like this every time someone goes through a trial but I truly do feel as though we are being blessed with blessings that we don't have room enough to receive.

Friends and Family have been very supportive and we appreciate all the love and all the prayers that are being offered on our behalf. I feel that love and comfort around me like a thick blanket, calming, soothing my heart. Today the Bishopric  found out about what is going on in our family and their tender, heart-felt words touched my heart. Everyone wants to do something for our family and say something to cheer us up in what way they can. I have had people offer to run interference for me and start up fundraisers, offer to watch Bentley and bring over dinners. And every one of them means it.

I am also grateful for the blessings of Tithing. With all of our bills coming in I have become so stressed, as I am apt to do with money. With everything seeming to come crashing down on my head it was as if an umbrella of steel was held over my head and I was given the way to overcome these bills and deal with the emotional stress that comes with...everything that is happening I guess.

Priesthood blessings have also been a guiding light during dark times.

And the still small voice of the Holy Ghost whispering "This too shall pass. You are going to be okay."

I am grateful for the atonement and for prayer and today I am most grateful for my family. I am grateful for extended family and for Jacob who has been a pillar of strength and understanding and for Bentley. I truly don't know what we would do without him.

:) Enough said.

Thank you for being in my life and reading the words of my heart. I pray that if you guys take anything from my blog that you will take away this: That I have a testimony of God. I have a testimony of his Son, Jesus Christ. Our family will be together forever. Brooklyn's hours on earth may be fleeting, but she will live with God in His kingdom and we will be with her again.I feel the spirit in my life guiding us and healing us and I know without a doubt that God hears and answers our prayers. And I know that the trials that occur in our lives are not just arbitrary, but that they are tailor made to suit our individual lives and personalities. He loves us that much. I know these things because of direct revelation given to me as a result of prayer and priesthood blessings. And testify to you that what you are going through will strengthen you. It will make you better and there are always people around you praying for you, rooting for you and willing to serve you as the Lord's hands upon the earth. I know I am.
I testify of these things to you in the name of Jesus Christ.
