thank you for the lovely story. I enjoyed hearing from another sister in the gospel and feeling the spirit while reading your testimony. I pray that you will have the blessings that you need. Thank you again

I enjoyed getting to know you better and take a lot of comfort in your words. I have had experiences that have taught me that, as hard as challenges are, they are the boats that float our blessings to us. Often we simply can’t acquire the blessings we want and need through our plans for ourselves, only through *His* plan for us. It is such a great comfort to know how aware He is of each and every one of us and how kind and willing He is to bless us with what really matters.

I think a lot of women can relate to the progression of your life. Their lives may not be identical, but the reliance on the Lord, and the inevitability of challenges are themes in the lives of women. Thank you for sharing your faith.

Great thoughts. Inspiring! I think genuinely understanding how close HE is, is a challenge for all of us and is an important thing to remember and ponder. Thanks for sharing that!

Michelle, You are awesome! Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

I really identified with this line: “I am learning not to resent difficult challenges, but to look more for His hand in my life, to trust God more in all the twists and turns that life has.” This is something I’m learning too – to ride over the waves instead of diving down into them and nearly drowning.

love you!
