FEELING BLESSED!

FEELING BLESSED...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it's been a while...and obviously I really stunk and fell off the band wagon with the blog challenge...HOWEVER...I have somewhat good reasons...I signed up for a 5k in Idaho Falls on May 24th....feeling NERVOUS! Now, everyone take note that I am NOT a runner....not long distance anyway...I like to think I am...but I'm just not. Ha ha. Anyway, I have a fabulous running partner that keeps me in line...although...I haven't gone in a little while (it all started when I was asked to watch my little soon to be brothers while my family went on a cruise)...I kinda fell off that band wagon as well. Lol....wow I seem really lazy! ANYWAY....today I thought I would write about feeling blessed. I was in church yesterday with the young women and we were talking about the restoration of the church. I guess I just have to say I AM BLESSED, because without this amazing gospel...I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't be married to a wonderful guy who treats me like royalty. I wouldn't have been blessed with a beautiful little girl. I wouldn't have had many of the opportunities in my life to help me become a better person. I am so grateful for the book of mormon...although...I feel I should read it again. I don't think I have actually made it all the way through understanding it.....that is one of my biggest goals....I am so grateful for my family. They have done so much for me and my family. (Both sides) I am grateful for being healthy (well for the most part haha)...once I get back in whack with my thyroid....I will be even more grateful for good health. I am so grateful for a home to keep us safe and warm. I am super grateful for the great community/neighborhood that we live in. So many sweet neighbors who are willing to help us at any time when needed. Most of all I am grateful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the love they have for me and my family. I am grateful for the blessings that are poured out on us everyday. I am grateful for the knowledge that someday we will be able to return with our Heavenly Father.....that's huge! Can you imagine? Sometimes I get scared thinking about the destruction that has happened, is happening, and will happen, but then I think about the end and where I want to be with my family....it will all be worth it. The church is true! So grateful for Eternal Families!

ALSO...one more thing.... I would like to thank all of my friends around me....for all the wonderful things you have done for me... the wonderful examples you have been. Please know that if any of you ever need me....I am here...as you have been for me. THANK YOU....yes...just THANK YOU!...I LOVE YOU ALL!

AND AS ALWAYS...Thank you my sweet blog readers...until next time! :D LOVE YOU ALL!
