Lead me, guide me, walk beside me...

Once again my life is being compared to a song. I really do love music. I think it is a very soothing and therapeutic way to express your feelings. There has been a wonderful peace in my home since last Tuesday. Brian and I have had to make some very big decisions this past while and I think I have gained gray hairs because of it. If you would like to read more about these decisions click here. Look for the post titled "Decisions!" (fitting I know).  Emotions have been very high. Finally, Brian text me (last Tuesday) and said we need to go to the Temple. And so we went to find some peace. The Lord answers prayers. Peace was indeed found. I am happy to say that Brian and I have done all we can to put ourselves in the path the Lord would have us be on. It is now in the Lord's hands. (I'ts a little more comforting then having it be in my hands)We find out what path that will be next week. (We will keep you posted)  The point of this post is to say once again the Lord answers prayers. When you've done all you can do, He will lead you along.


Lessons Learned:

I WON'T LET GO

"It's like a storm 

That cuts a path 

It breaks your will 

It feels like that 

You think you're lost

But you're not lost on your own, 

You're not alone 

I will stand by you,

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

and you can't cope

I will dry your eyes,

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight 

and I won't let go

It hurts my heart to see you cry

I know its dark this part of life

Oh it finds us all and we're to small

to stop the rain

Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you,

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

and you can't cope

I will dry your eyes,

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

and I won't let you fall

Don't be afraid to fall

I'm right here to catch you

I won't let you down

It won't get you down 

You're gonna make it

I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you,

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

and you can't cope

I will dry your eyes,

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

and I won't let go

Oh I'm gonna hold you

and I won't let go

Won't let you go

No I won't"

His Child, His Love, His Life

I was reading my friend's blog today and I really appreciated what she had to say. To read the whole post click here. I recommend reading it :)  (The post isn't titled so scroll down for her "March 3, 2011" post)

She talked about being a child of God and feeling of the love He has for us. And that He loves all. I recently had an experience where I felt such love. Such overwhelming, almost felt unworthy of it love. It's hard to sometimes revert back to the simplicity of the gospel. The simplicity of being a Child of God. And yet there is so much more depth to that statement then we will ever know. But because we are a His children, we are loved by Him.

Lesson Learned:
"Then. Then I remembered a tangible concept taught in a recent Relief Society activity. The speaker discussed how the worth of a painting is based upon the price a buyer will pay for it. A mother may pay a huge sum of money for her child's finger painting, because it is her child. An art collector may pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for an original DaVinci, because to the art collector it is worth that money. The same goes for me, as an individual for whom the Atonement was completed. Because Heavenly Father paid the price of His only Begotten son for me, I am worth something to Him. Because I am His child, my finger painting is worth the price of His Son."
