Struggles

This past month has been a series of emotional ups and downs, difficult decisions that don't seem to stay made and a house that can't manage to stay clean. My girls have been extra fussy and clingy, I have been overwhelmed, and all-in-all, its just been a hard month.

I have to keep stepping back and looking at my life and remember that ITS ALL GOOD. I'm finally back together with Matt, we have a nice home with friendly neighbors and a wonderful ward and I have the gospel in my life. But isn't it strange how a series of really small things can wind up being harder to overcome than one huge thing?

I keep repeating the verse in my head "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path." I try to do that. Every time something changes I try to put it right back on Him and garner strength to keep going until the next time.

We hope that we'll soon have reasons to celebrate and rejoice. We hope that the reasons we've been struggling this past while becomes clear and that after the struggles we see triumph at the end.

I pray that God will bless everyone who is struggling with hard decisions right now. I pray that God give strength to all that they may make the right decision. I pray that the right people will be put in your path to help you, what ever decision is made. I pray that you may feel God's love and know that He loves you no matter what you have done or gone through. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding and He will direct thy path.
