For the past few years, Trent and I have been struggling with a huge trial that has come our way. For the most part, I think I have done a pretty good job at handling my feelings and not becoming too sad...but one day last week I couldn't hold it in! I was on my way home from work when for some reason I was just overcome with feelings of sadness. I could not fight back the tears and I just started crying. Trent is always SO strong...which is good, because that would be a mess if we were both cry babies! I got home and for the past hour or so I just sat in our quiet house, when this quote came to my mind... "If life gets too hard to stand...kneel." I fell right to my knees and just prayed!
I know that our Heavenly Father loves us. I know that He answers our prayers. I know that we all have trials... some are really small, that last just a few minutes...and some are so big, that they feel like they will never go away. After I prayed, I felt so much better! I have SO much to be grateful for...oh my goodness!!
