Come What May ,and Love It.......


This is the talk http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-947-9,00.html

that has gotten me through these last few weeks. Most of you know by now I was 8 weeks pregnant. I went to my first apt. and the Dr. said I was either not that far along or the baby stopped growing at 5 1/2 weeks. WHAT!!!?! Yes after having 3 healthy pregnancy, I wasn't expecting that nor did I want to accept it. I was devastated after several labs, many ultrasounds and a few long weeks my heart was broken. They never found a heart beat and I had to have surgery since my body wasn't realizing the pregnancy wasn't viable.

I've been through many emotions these last few weeks. So how am I doing??? I know heavenly father doesn't give you anything more then you can handle. I honestly wonder if he has me confused with someone else right now. I am so thankful that no matter what an emotional mess I feel inside right now. I have a firm foundation of the gospel. My savior fully understands my pain and suffering and when I'm ready, I know he will lift it from me.

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Said


"If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness"

"Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job training. These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others."

"He who descended below all things will come to our aid. He will comfort and uphold us. He will strengthen us in our weakness and fortify us in our distress. He will make weak things become strong."


I have faith that we will be blessed with another healthy child someday and I will be able to look back at the blessings this trial will provide for me. For now I know I need to focus on what I do have and that is an Amazing Family, 3 beautiful children, A husband who is a worthy priesthood holder, Knowledge that I'm a daughter of god and he loves me, Faith that has gotten me through many trials these last few years, Blessing my family has received for enduring through each of them and that we continue to be blessed and that our Family is Eternal.


*****I'm thankful for all the blessings, messages, love and support. I truly am blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Thank you T for driving 3 1/2 hours to give me a blessing that testified the truth fullness of this scripture to me. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!


Dc 84: 88 And whoso areceiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go bbefore your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my cSpirit shall be in your hearts, and mine dangels round about you, to bear you up.

Ali--wow--I had no idea. I wish so much that I could walk right over, give you a big hug and talk to you. You seem to be doing so well though and that is wonderful. It makes you realize even more what miracles those 3 little angels really are doesn't it? You will be in my thoughts and prayers. We love you and your sweet family!

I am so so sorry! I had no idea. You had to have known when you were here last, right? I wish I could have helped in some way. I am seriously a little teary eyed right now. I just can't imagine. Seriously, every child is such a miracle and you have three little angels. I just loved Elder Wirthlin and that talk. I will be keeping you and your cute family in my prayers. If there is anything I can do, even from here, please let me know. Love you and hope that you always know I am here.
