my testimony of the gospel and give thanks for my many blessings.))

warning it might be a tear jerker.
it was for me while i was writing it.
life knocked me off my feet this past month.
i spent the whole school year healthy
and doing overall really well!
life sure hasn't been exactly perfect but
it has been quite grand.
until the last little while things got a bit rough.
off and on throughout april i kept getting sick.
in the last two weeks i got extremely sick.
and this past week life just came crashing down.
i spent too many moments in tears.
and this past week life just came crashing down.
i spent too many moments in tears.
on top of being sick i had to face a really hard
trial in my life. putting me and my faith to the test.
just when life seems to be practically perfect is
usually the time when the whirlwinds come.
i've been struggling to keep my head
above water and to just keep pushing forward.
but i'm doing it. i know it's through the strength of
my savior that i am making it through.

my savior that i am making it through.
since i was continuing to get sick one
of my doctors requested an order form for me
to have blood drawn and some tests done.
i was in the doctors office weekly.
and i landed in the insta care sunday night.
i was diagnosed with an infection while there.
i got a prescription for that but was still feeling awful.
monday i was back at the doctors.
i was covered in rashes, couldn't eat and was
just flat out miserable. my blood tests were back in.
i was finally able to find out why i was so sick.
all three of my tests came back positive for mono.
yuck, no fun!!! but i was glad to know what
has been making me so awfully sick.
i spent three days at home resting and working
on getting better. i have lost an unhealthy amount of weight
over the past week. but luckily i've received another prescription
for anti nausea. which has helped me to be able
to eat real food for the first time in days. i'm still trying to
regain my full strength and appetite but am
feeling loads better. i'm on the road to recovery!
one challenge after another.
my testimony has been somewhat tried but more
importantly strengthened this past week.
i've gained such a powerful and strong testimony
of living a righteous life and following
the words and counsel of prophets and leaders.
i was reading my scriptures, praying daily,
going to church and attending seminary.
i thought i was doing great on my spiritual level.
but as dramatic changes have happened
in my life recently my eyes have been opened. i
realized that even though i was doing the right things
there was something lacking in my life.
even though life has been really hard with a
lot of ups and downs. and a lot of tears.
i'm grateful for this change in my life and for the
spiritual increase i have had. my
blessings have increased and i know i will
continue to receive so many great and wonderful
blessings for the choices i've made.
this week as i've struggled and had rough days,
i've ended most of my nights with heartfelt
prayers to my heavenly father. but for me
than have been more than just prayers,
they have been conversations with my father.
it's been as if i could feel him here with me
comforting me, wiping away my tears
and just bringing peace to me.
as i've turned to my savior and heavenly father
this week i have been blessed and
strengthened in ways that i never imagined.
i've received peace when i needed it
most. and have just felt their love for me.
there have been so many tiny little blessings
in my life this week. from simple messages and reminders
of hope that i've stumbled across. to continuous
support and love from friends and family.
i know that the prayers from my friends and family
have been a great help to me this week.
i feel so lucky to have such wonderful people in
my life who are so concerned for me and
just provide me with tons of support at this time.
beyond words grateful for the lord's hand in my life.
a huge thank you to my sweet mom!
who has cared for me all week. and catered to my
every need. from constantly taking me to the doctor,
getting me all my medicine and soooo much more.
i wouldn't have been able to survive without her!
i love you so much mom and am
beyond grateful for all that you have done
for me this week, and everything you always do!
happy mothers day!
((find friends who will freeze to death with you & pray for you))
((wouldn't have made it without her. thanks for
crying with me at all hours of the day & night))
