A Change of Heart

So as of late I have done some thinking. And with thinking brings prayer, searching, pondering, and a sure knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and that They do live. Life is hard and trials and fears are present but with the love of my Heavenly Father, we can get through anything. My outlook has changed, my spirit has changed, and my love has changed. I am grateful for the things that Heavenly Father has put into my path. For the people he has set in my path. And through my loving Savior I am able to overcome and resist temptation and turn to Him for help and guidance. More then ever I have truly felt His arms around me and His everlasting love. I truly believe that the scriptures are true. They have anything and everything we will ever need to know. They answer prayers and lead the way to righteousness. Through prayer and studying I have come to know the Savior Jesus Christ. He is real and He lives! I have learned that the Lord will NEVER give us things that we will not be able to handle. I know that we still receive present day revelation through the prophets of the Church. I know people are inspired for a reason. I know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have a hand in everything. I know that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ I will (with my great husband and beautiful daughter) live with Him again.

I have come to appreciate my marriage more. Things in a blink of an eye can change. And its my husband that I turn to and lean on. He is truly my best friend. He has taught me in ways I don't think he'll ever know. I fall in love over and over again when I wake up next to him. I still get butterflies. I still get a fluttering heart. I am so grateful that I will be with him forever-and forever means FOREVER.

I have come to appreciate my adoring daughter. Its hard sometimes to be the one she relies on 24/7. But I would never change anything about that. I have come to understand how our Heavenly Father feels towards us. Unconditional love. I love to see her experience life-watch her see and hear new things. I love getting her in the morning and her arms and legs start going and a huge smile on her face. I can't imagine what Heavenly Father will feel when we come before Him after the judgement day and have past our time here on earth, ready to serve Him with our celestial families.

I needed this. I guess one can say that I have had a "change of heart". I'm ready for what life brings.
