First of all,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I had some great fun last night that I might blog about later...
but today is still Sunday.
Good ol Sunday.
So we woke up at 8:45 and scrambled to get to church.. .made it by 9:07. (Whew!)
Today was ward conference and I just found myself getting the chills a lot! So good!
But while I was taking the sacrament squished on the back row between 4 great girls, I decided to close my eyes. I always start saying a silent prayer during the sacrament thanking God for his son, vowing to be better, asking for Him to be with my family and I, and hoping the Bishop doesn't think I am just snoozing...
And when the sacrament was over I just felt comfort. I felt the spirit and I know that He heard me. I get this feeling after I say my prayers at night sometimes also, thats the time I tend to feel most vulnerable or worn out and needing some help.
And since I have been feeling a little blue the past little while, I suddenly remembered something.
I learned this lesson last year and I have been reminding myself this a lot over the past year
...
We are NEVER alone.
We always have a way to talk to our Heavenly Father. And He will always be with us; all we have to do is ask.
I know this is true.
He was there for me when my heart was broken,
He was there with me when my best friend left me,
and He has was there in my darkest hour.
He has always been there for me.
I know its so "One Tree Hill" to cry like Peyton Sawyer and say "Why do people always leave?"
But I have felt completely abandoned before and ultimately alone. In a world this big, I am guessing everyone does at some point or another.
So I guess what I am saying is, if you are having a bad day, or going through some sort of trial.
Bear it with your best heart, and ask for help. You won't regret it and you won't be struggling alone.
I am so thankful that I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. :)
My life would definately be different if i didn't choose to be.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
Jess
