In difficult times

In the last three months I have learnt so much from the Lord.... I have been going through a difficult time in my life. Everything was going so well and then my work situation started to change.... I ended up in an area that I did not want to be in, someone else made the decision for me.

For a while I was going home everyday and crying, and generally not dealing very well with the situation at hand.

I was going to the temple on a weekly basis, having really personal prayers to my Father pleading for help and inspiration.... And I felt like I wasn't really getting any answers, nor did I have another job lined up, and my current work situation haven't gotten any better...

But looking back at all the lessons that I have learnt over the last three months, I have come to realise that the Lord was with me the entire time, the Savior has been there to comfort me. There were so many little miracles that I didn't see until I opened my eyes.

One of the tiny miracles was the fact that I'm now closer to my husband, I know how much he loves me, and how much I can rely on him. I'm grateful for him being a worthy priesthood holder to be able to give me blessings.

I'm grateful for our Home Teachers, who taught us a lesson from the July Ensign about how we just need to continue and do things to be able to receive answers and not wait for answers to appear to us. This wasn't the First Presidency's message, but it was the message that I needed to hear.

I'm grateful for the Temple for bring peace and calm in my life in moments that I need it most.

I may not have my answers yet, but the Lord loves me and knows me. He knows the lessons that I need to learn at this particular point in time, and that I just need to be patient. I'm thankful for that.
