Um, just wanted to share some thoughts I have had this week...

Through my personal struggles, I have really learned a lot about the ways of the Lord. This year has seriously been the hardest of my life, but in so many ways it has been the greatest. Never before have I been so blessed with the Love of the Lord.

Even with these wonderful experiences, there have been many times this past year where I would feel that the heavens were silent and my prayers would go unanswered. But when my health took very dangerous turns, the Lord would always whisper to me what I needed to do. There were no answers or possible solutions from the medical community, but My Heavenly Father knew exactly what I needed.

I am in the process of learning what faith means and how important it is to act on faith (faith without works is dead)...and the Lord has rewarded me through acting on promptings, and also doing everything I can to help my situation on my own.
Never before have I been overcome with such power as when I feel the love of my Father in Heaven. It brings me so much peace and hope for the present, and the future...and truly humbles me.

I can't stop thinking this week about what a wonderful blessing this struggle has been for me; to have these experiences and so many opportunities to test my faith. I am overwhelmed with the knowledge that our Father lives, and gives us amazing gifts through the spirit. He has all the answers, he knows all things. He loves us and desires we come unto Him.

Indeed, what a struggle it is for us when our physical condition begins to fail, there is a valuable lesson to be taught from the Godhead.

Thanks again in sharing your experiences. :0
