About Me

There are several things that define me - my children, my faith, my friends, my dreams - in that order. I Love with my whole heart.I wish I could hate more. I forgive. Life sucked at times - this blog is, I hope, a way for me to learn to be grateful and happy...join me on my journey to my better self :)

With Spirit I Am Happy

So...do you know THOSE days?? The days when you feel WORTHLESS. 

I do.
The heartache is gigantic. Overwhelming. 

Well, I found a cure! 

Actually, 
like a sick, stubborn child - I was "fed" the medicine 
{thnx, my lovely, caring older brother Spirit}

I have a friend. We never really talk, all we do is smile to each other while in church on Sundays. I LOVE her! She is sweet, kind, caring. I'll call her - E!
E has been around <The Curch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints> for a while...much longer then I. 
She is faithful and strong. 
She is not a member-YET

Few months ago she asked me how did I decide to get baptized. 
I gave a very lame testimony. 
Two days ago, after wrapping up my work, I laid down in my bed, looking at the sky {ceiling}...just thinking of - nothing! 
My lovely friends! 
A thought appeared in my mind out of nowhere - write to E! She is still waiting for a decent answer! 
Instantly, I was in front of my computer again, typing. 
Within 2 minutes I had an email composed - I just wrote and wrote...
...words, sentences, testimonies...
flooded my computer screen...
I typed
Spirit dictated
I sent that email. 
Soon enough she replied.
She cried. 
She was truly touched.
She shared with me her concernds.
The reasons why she is not baptized yet
I replied
And I was 

HAPPY

I listened to the little voice
I shared my testimony
I talked about Gospel
And all of the sudden, the world was no longer COLD and DARK place
It was 
BRIGHT
   WARM
       HAPPY
          LOVING
               JOYOUS

I reached out to help someone...and in the process, I helped myself! Magic formula I guess!

Thank YOU my beloved FATHER
Thank YOU for the gift of the SPIRIT
Thank YOU for your guidance
Thank YOU for your LOVE
Thank YOU for the little FAITH I have in YOU
Thank YOU for all the FAITH YOU have in ME
{it takes a lot of FAITH to send someone to talk to your precious CHILD}
Thank you for making me think about everything I have to be grateful for.

Being stubborn as I am
I am sure I will dwell into cold and dark places again.
Thank you right now for what YOU will do for me every time I wonder off in the future.
I KNOW YOU will NEVER abandon me
I PRAY that I will NEVER abandon YOU

YOU are just a PRAYER away!
