It is through our trial's that we learn of Christ

I was thinking the other day about how Heavenly Father does not give us more than we can handle . Over the past year there have been so many day's that I could not get out of bed. I think I stayed in bed for three days just after he left. As I look back over the last year I can see how Heavenly Father has blessed my life. I was working away from home when he left , so going to work was one of the hardest things I ever had to do . I am thankful that Justin and Tyler were so good to me when this happened . There were so many day's that I just had to get up and leave. Each time they told me they understood , and would be there to support me. As time went on it got harder and harder to go to work. I prayed each day and every night that I could work from home so I could be with my kid's. I went to church one sunday and walked into sunday school and there sat Brother Walker-( ward employment specialist ) . I asked him as he was walking out if he knew of any jobs that I  could work from home. He said "No" he never gets anything like that. I asked him to keep me in mind if he hears of anything, he said he would. I sat down , and a couple minutes later he calls me out of class. "I think I have something for you, I'll let you know "....  2 days later I got a call asking if I would go with the Elder's and Vicky to teach a lady about the gospel...What a powerful experience that was. I sat in that room as the Elders asked her to pray that night about being baptized. My overwheling thought was how incredible this gospel is , that we are called to action, to pray and to know for ourselves the truthfulness of the gospel. I was humbled to see and to hear the servants of the Lord ask this sister to come unto Christ and enjoy the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As I left her home that night Vicky asked me if I would come talk to her husband about a job...I didn't want to go bug someone about a job at 9:30 at night. I said "no , I will come over this week though and see him".  As I drove down my street I knew that I should turn around and go see him...it's late, what If I'm not what he want's...all the crazy stuff that goes thru your head. Again I knew that I should turn back and go see him. I talked to him that night and he said he would talk to his partner. A few day's later what would turn out to be one of the most amazing men I have ever met would offer me a job . And I got to be home with my kids. I  know that heavely father know's what we need and is there to bless our lives.  I know people come into our lives for certain reasons .It is up to us to be ready .     For those whom the Lord has sent , will ALWAY'S show up on time .   It is up to us to be at the crossroad to meet them  .  I am greatful he sent whom he did to meet me on that path .  I Love the gospel and despite the trials in my life , I still believe that Families Are Forever , and thru this knowledge I am blessed with a Wonderfiul Life.
