My Daddy and I talked on the phone the other day and he was quick to inform me that I hadn't written anything on my blog for a long time. And I guess I haven't and I neglected to post the results of my give-away. Forgive me oh faithful two readers of my blog for not posting!
I really have just not been in the mood to post. I have become a little blue these past few months. Sometimes life just deals you a plate of sadness and you can't help but devour the thing. Then it sits in your gut like a bad meal for weeks. But I am the only one that can make myself happy again and that can be through nothing else but forgetting me and finding happiness in the service of others. And perhaps a hot bubble bath or two! I am slowing turning from blue to peach again!
I think I also need to remember how blessed I truly am. My family, my beliefs, my ability to wake in the morning, to hear my daughter, to kiss my husband. to eat a good meal. I am blessed in so many ways and am selfish for thinking I am anything but. There are obstacles and troubles, things that make me so mad that I want to scream, but this is where my faith and ability and knowledge of prayer comes in. I pray for comfort and I receive. This of course does not make the problems go away, but reminds me that the pain I feel has been felt by another, that he understands and he lived so that I may have his hand to hold me up when times are rough.
I rely on the comfort of my Savior and of my Heavenly Father to get me through the day. For this I am so grateful. For this reason I cannot imagine my life without the knowledge I have. How I would be searching, how I would be crying out for something, anything, if I did not have this in my life. I thank my Father for sending the missionaries to my grandparents door and for the Spirit that touched them. True happiness can be found in the love of God. I have felt Him with me. I still have a lot of growing to do, and I know that the trials I am going through now will someday seem so easy compared to things that will come. But I will go forward with the knowledge that I can do it. I can survive.
