Humility and Love

It's funny as I sat through church today listening and pondering all that was being said. I recall in my own life hearing something from someone very close to me that seemed so surreal. I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach yet could not catch my breath. A month went by and I found myself overcome with the realization of what I had been told...a few more weeks passed and I was slowly losing myself. I spent any free time in my bed..hiding, yearning for an understanding as to why it is that my life had taken this direction...and then one morning I recall a gentle gift from above. I realized that I was losing this fight..I was giving up, and then suddenly it hit me, I had two choices- I could choose to surrender myself or I could remember my purpose and get back to living my life. I remember thinking that I chose to come to this earth to serve and glorify my Heavenly Father and again I was faced with the question,"What path will you choose?" I had determined at that moment to fight back and do all that was necessary to overcome this obstacle that I was facing. Now, 18 months later..I have gained a great deal of happiness and peace that had I not made that choice I would have never found. I am so thankful for the tender mercies of a loving Heavenly Father. And although life throws a curve ball here and there..We Never Walk Alone!!!
