I am loved!

The last few weeks, months, I have had something weighing heavy on my mind. I eat drink and sleep it. It worries me and has caused me to question the direction of my life and if it is all worth it. Are the hassles worth the rewards, I was doubting that they were. My health has also been declining so that didn't help my outlook. This morning I got up, changed the page on my calendar, and there were the words that changed everything. "Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days." D&C 24:8 "Be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged, things will work out." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley. Of course it will. I just needed that nudge from my Heavenly Father to lighten up and go to work, it will work out. I am so thankful He cares enough to send me these simple messages that cause my heart to swell and my outlook to change and my life to be set back on track. I am loved. Oh and because of my troubles, money has been a little tight, I was doing my visiting teaching and had shared my moment of bliss, we had gotten up and were walking out the door when this beloved sister said, out of nowhere, I need to gather up my daughters prom dresses and put them in our garage sale on Saturday. Emily needs a dress so badly but we just don't have the money to spend. How that Lord works in such miraculous way, I just don't know, but thank goodness He does!
