My heart is very full of gratitude today.
We had our ward conference and I was greatly touched.
I came away knowing that I need my Savior every hour
and that he is there always. Angels really do attend us
if we are worthy and need them.
I felt keenly my nothingness in a good way.....
Meaning, my absolute dependence on my Savior.
I am so grateful that I am able to have another child...
that because of modern day medicine and knowledge this baby can arrive safely, despite all the complications.
I am so grateful that my husband loves the Lord with all his soul and wants to serve Him alone.
I am grateful for John's endless hard work and studies to accomplish his goals to provide for our family.
I am grateful for the chance to raise some of the Lord's most precious children. They are everything to me.
I am grateful to go home this weekend and be in the temple with 6 out of 8 (other 2 are too young) of my siblings and parents.
My brother Matt has just been called to serve a mission in Italy and we are going to go through the temple with him. I think my joy will be to overflowing!
And lastly, I am grateful that through this crazy emotional, physical ride I have been on there has ALWAYS been an underlying peace and security from my Father in Heaven.
I KNOW he lives and I am grateful for this ever growing testimony in my heart.
