Blessings

As I have continued to grow older, I have learned really how hard this life can be. I have had some trials in my life that have been really hard on me. When I was going through these, I remember praying, searching for answers in my scriptures, and asking for priesthood blessings. I always wanted these things that I was going through to work out in my favor and sometimes, that did not happen. That made what I was going through even harder. Now that I am looking back on them, I am realizing that I am truly blessed. If I wouldn't of gone through a major heartbreak, I may have not been able to meet my husband. Eric and I fasted, prayed, and attended the temple when he was deciding what offer he should accept. If we wouldn't of included our Heavenly Father in this big decision, we may have made the wrong decision and have not accepted the right job.

Eric and I feel so blessed to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Living outside of Utah we were nervous that we were not going to be close to a Temple. We are blessed to be 30 minutes away from the Houston Temple so we can attend there often. How grateful we are to have the power of prayer in our lives and the scriptures. We are so lucky to be able to turn to our Heavenly Father when we are in need of guidance. I found a song when I was going through some trials and I listen to it often. Some times things may not work out as we want them too, but our Savior knows what is best. When things do not go the way you planned, remember there is someone who knows us better than we know ourselves. We are his children and he knows what is best for us. Happy Sunday!
