Sometimes I get an overwhelming feeling of Gratitude.
This past time it happened when I was returning back to Logan from Vernal.
I was having a very hard week & wasn't planning on going home but I just needed to be there.
I wasn't sure what to do.
But my parents insisted and made it possible for me to go.
The atmosphere that my parents have created at my house is so peaceful.
It was just what I needed to bring my spirits back up.
A while back I was having the most difficult time of my life to date.
I have never dealt with anything harder in my life and hope to never have to make that big/hard of decision again.
My parents were/are my rock.
Its funny how struggles bring people closer together.
I always thought my family was close. But going through something this difficult only made our family that much closer.
I can honestly say my family (Mom, Dad, Kand, & JJ) are my best friends.
I have no idea where I would be with out them.
I stumbled across this talk today and it was just so fitting.
"And so, my dear young women, with all my heart I urge you not to look to contemporary culture for your role models and mentors. Please look to your faithful mothers for a pattern to follow. Model yourselves after them, not after celebrities whose standards are not the Lord’s standards and whose values may not reflect an eternal perspective. Look to your mother. Learn from her strengths, her courage, and her faithfulness. Listen to her. She may not be a whiz at texting; she may not even have a Facebook page. But when it comes to matters of the heart and the things of the Lord, she has a wealth of knowledge. As you approach the time for marriage and young motherhood, she will be your greatest source of wisdom. No other person on earth loves you in the same way or is willing to sacrifice as much to encourage you and help you find happiness—in this life and forever."
My mom has always been my hero. I hope that someday I can be part of the woman she is.
She is amazing.
Anyway. Just some random stuff. But I would feel guilty if I didn't mention how grateful I truly am for my family!
