The wonderful thing called life!!!

Over the past few weeks it has been crazy busy. Now that I have the time to post another blog I thought I should mention my thoughts that are awing me right now. The Lord is truly amazing and he brings people into our lives and the right time for us. One of my very dear friend has been going through a similar situation as me, we have been able to talk about it and it has been a real strength in helping me through the situation. I am also grateful for my Aunt Annie, she is one of the most compassionate person I know. My mother passed away when I was 14 years old, and she has been the most influencing person in my life and stepped up a lot more when my mother passed. I love her more than she will ever know, and just as much grateful. I am also very impressed by my grandmothers and the wonderful examples they are in my life.
Right now my grandmothers are going through there far share of their struggles and they are really showing my that my troubles really don' t mount to any small pile of struggles then others go through. I think of the saying that says if live were not easy it would not be hard, by Sherrie Dew. I also think of the scripture that states, "I never said it would be easy I only said it would be worth it." We all have so many struggles in our lives, but we have to have faith to rise above them and make our weakness our strength. And when we do that we can truly make ourselves more happy. Ending my post today I want to quote one of my favorite poems it is called the monument by Blaine M. Yorgason:

God, before he sent his children into the world,

gave each of them a carefully selected package of problems.


"These, "He promised smiling, "are yours alone.

Only you have the special talents and abilities

that will make these problems your servants,

and no one else may have the blessing these problems will bring you."


"So, go down to your birth, and to your forgetting.

Know that I love you beyond measure.

The problems I give you are a token of my love."


"The monument you make of your life,

with the help of your problems,

will be a token of your love for me."


Your Father


What is the monument that you are going to make out of you life and more importantly what is the monument that you are going to make for our Father in Heaven. I love you all may you have a very wonderful day.
