About Me

My photo
My husband and I were living the picture perfect life after 5 years of marriage when he was hit with a massive stroke in 2010. He ended up having a craniotomy and was left paralyzed on the left side and legally blind. I was 9 months pregnant at the time with our second child. He was in the hospital for 3 months 4 hours away from us. It has been a roller coaster. Although we never wished this to happen, we have seen so many blessings in our life since his stroke. We are trying to learn all that we must and trying to keep the faith and have a positive attitude. This blog is a place that I can share things that I have learned and continue to learn.

Sunday Reflection

Wow. I don't want to go into too much detail but we have had some things occur in the last day or two that have been extremely humbling. What I can say is that our faith and testimony in Christ have once again been strengthened. Also, we are extremely grateful that there are such great people in this world who epitomize what it means to be a true follower of Christ.  This whole experience with Kary having a stroke has opened our eyes to so many different things.  It has made us want to be better people.  Mostly because of the awe inspiring example of others. 

I have recieved a witness this weekend that our Father in Heaven does know us.  He knows our situation and the struggles we are going through.  He knows it is not easy.  But He also knows that it is for our good.  The Holy Ghost has witnessed to me this weekend that God will help us through our trials.  He has not left us alone to endure this trial on our own.  He knows His children, and those who follow Him and trust in Him are placed strategically by Him in this world exactly where they need to be and when they need to be there. I'm grateful for the people that God has placed in our lives.  These MANY MANY people have NO idea how much they mean to us and how much their love and support helps us keep going forward and helps us stay positive.

I know my Savior lives.  I know He loves me.  He loves us all.  I hope that I can share with others the joy and peace that following Him and worshipping Him and trusting in Him brings me and my family.
