Today is one of those days that I feel like crying,
screaming, whining, and pretty much just going to bed with a big bowl of ice
cream and a chick-flick. I know that we all have days like these every once in
a while and they can be discouraging. My life right now seems to be a roller coaster
that is hitting every high and low along the way, everything from feeling
stressed beyond believe, to feeling complete joy. I know that life is sometimes
a lot to take in, but I have realized that the Lord is always there to not only
comfort me, but to help carry me along the way.
A few months ago, right before my first date with Jordan, I
was feeling completely discouraged, alone and lost. I was having a hard time
dealing with a past relationship that didn’t work out. I was also feeling that
because this past relationship didn’t work out, I would never be able to
develop a relationship that would last in the future. I was feeling like a
complete failure. I started to doubt that
my life would ever work out.
So I got down on my knees, with tears streaming down my face
and prayed for some sort of comfort, and to know that someday I would have the opportunity
to enter the Lord’s house with the man of my dreams and begin an eternal family.
Instantly, every single bit of doubt, stress and sorrow left my mind. I was
filled with peace, love, and hope. I knew, without a doubt that my Heavenly
Father loves me and that he would guide my life and help me be the best that I
could be if I followed his teachings and always returned to Him in prayer.
This was the week before my first date with Jordan. I never knew
what would come out of that, I had no idea that a few short months later I
would be engaged and preparing to marry the love of my life for time and all
eternity! NEVER forget that your Heavenly Father is just a prayer away. If you
ask for his help, he will never leave you helpless. He is always there for you!
So get on your knees, open your scriptures, let the communication with your
Heavenly Father flow into your life and soul. He may not answer you when you
want Him to, or even the way you expected or hoped He would, but He will answer
you!
