I really felt the spirit strong in church today. It started during Sacrament meeting, we sang "Count your Blessings", I could hardly contain myself to finish the song. Sometimes I feel as if the Lord has forgotten me when I'm not blessed with what I desire. I really struggling right now with my infertility battles. I get to a good spot, ready to accept my challenge, feeling good and relying on the Lord, and realizing that it will come when the Lord sees fit for me. And then reality hits me and I know I'm not pregnant and it feels as if life sucks. So instead of dwelling on what I don't have (which completely preoccupies my every thought), I'm going to count my blessings. These blessings in no way encompass the only blessings I have, I'm sure there are many that I forgot or may not even realize I have.

Thanks for sharing your blessings. I've been trying to focus on realizing the blessings I have in my life the last few weeks. I can tell you that my trials have felt a lot smaller and God's love has felt a lot larger. It's been really good for me. Thanks for sharing yours too!
All I can say is Amen, Sister!
I TOTALLY know what feelings you're going through. I know it doesn't help to hear it- but when it does happen, you'll know that the wait was for a reason.
love to you!
thanks for such a special post - you gave me goose bumps! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
