OK, so I know I have become a horrible blogger since I had Mary...but we have been crazy busy the last few months, and in reality I think I have relapsed on my body trying to readjust. I know the doctors say that I should be back to normal...but you tell my body that. I am really frustrated with being so tired, and everything on my body hurting...but they say once my thyroid is leveled out all will be well and I will feel better and won't feel so tired or depressed, or anxious. I look forward to that day. But to top all of this off we have had sewer problems due to the wonderful company of Qwest/Centrury Link putting fiber optic lines in our neighborhood. Because they nicked our line...we have had major backups twice in the past two weeks. And can I say that this literally stinks!!!
I talked with Steve today and he said can you believe all this stuff that is happening to us right now, and I said I know why. I know it is because Steve and I were called to be Trek Leaders for next years Pioneer Trek with the youth. I know this is a way for the evil one to try and get us to not go, to try our patience, to change our mind, to doubt. So many things have happened since that call...me almost dying, problems with our home, money is tighter, me not being able to go on the training at the Cove, kids having hard times, my dad possibly having lung and liver cancer (they will run more tests to see how far it has spread and if it is cancer) and a lot of other things. But the thing that keeps us going is our testimonies. I know without a doubt, that we are suppose to go on this trek. I know that this is what Heavenly Father has in mind for us in his plan. I know that through all these trials, and the ones to come that I must remain strong and faithful. And most of all stay close to my husband, my kids, and our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for Him and the trials that we have had. I am so grateful for my life being preserved so that I could be with my family here on Earth a little longer and to be able to serve the youth and experience Martin's Cove and Sixth Crossing with them and my eternal companion. I do not know what I would ever do with out the gospel in my life, and I hope for all of my friends who may have fallen away that they will come back and see that this is the true and only church on the earth, and that I miss them and hearing their testimonies that strengthened me all these years, especially as I was growing up. And if you remain faithful that our Heavenly Father will bless you no matter what your situation may be. I am grateful for priesthood blessings, and the comfort they bring to me especially lately when I have felt like all I want to do is curl up in a ball and sleep. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me, that my family loves me, and that I have many friends and neighbors who love me. What a lucky person I am to be surrounded with so much love and support.
