Count Your Many Blessings!

"I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness..... I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant. The Lord is in the details of our lives."
 President Thomas S. Monson

I have a had a rough few days. Without the Priesthood of God, I would not be making it, nor would I feel as strong as I do right now. Tyler is serving my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He will be gone for awhile and although I want with all my heart to be with him forever, if Heavenly Father has a different plan for me then I will do it, praying that he gives me the strength to that. But I wont think like that, our love is strong. I trust Tyler with all my heart, I trust God with all my heart and that's why this sacrifice is worth it, because I love him...because of everything that I have and everything that he has done for me. It will be hard, but I am willing to give it my best shot and not back down even when I feel broken-with the Savior I can be whole.
