A PEEK INTO MY HEART

This post is not intended to boast nor to compare.  It's a simple expression of the overwhelming gratitude I have felt lately, and I just needed to write it out.

I am grateful for....

Being able to ask my husband any time for a blessing.  Having the Priesthood in our home is a great power that blesses both of us equally.


Opportunities.  My husband and I were both able to complete our four year degrees.  This has been a huge blessing and accomplishment for us.  I never really thought I would graduate but I'm SO glad I did. We feel humbled and blessed for Spencer's opportunity to be in grad school right now.  I just started a new job that will require me to learn new skills and do things outside my comfort zone.  I am sort of still in training and am grateful for all the people who are patient with me.  Everyone's so nice and it's a great environment to work in.

^^ I am loving this city^^
^^ New job! ^^
Second chances.  The things we constantly work at each day, each hour, and each moment are the things that will become most valuable and precious to us.  The moment you stop trying is the moment you fail (no, you don't have to be perfect).


Learning experiences. Without trials, how could we learn what is hard and what isn't?  How could we experience true joy?  Is it possible to become better?  Trials help us to learn from the hard times, and to be grateful for the good times.  Life is about learning.



Our world.  How beautiful it is!!  Heavenly Father created it for us, wanting us to enjoy it and take advantage of it.  Sometimes just stopping for a minute to enjoy a simple little flower can really lift my spirits.


Family.  They will always be there.  I couldn't ask for anything more.


The gospel.  What would life be like without the kind of perspective that the gospel provides us? I wouldn't have much to live for, and life would definitely not be as rewarding. We have been given all the tools necessary to succeed in this life, and make it back to our Father in Heaven.  I know that I am a loved daughter of God.  He knows me better than I know myself.  That amazes me!


These are just a few of the many feelings I have had lately and I hope you don't mind me sharing them (I just don't want to forget)!
