The last couple of weeks have been filled with so many blessings that I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have been so down and feeling discouraged wondering if I was ever going to be able to dig myself out but a couple of weeks ago I received an answer to my prayers. I had been praying for this answer for quite some time. The Holy Ghost had told me something earlier in the year, but I had started to doubt that feeling so I began to pray to know if what I felt before was true and I got my answer, and the answer was so profound that I knew I couldn't question it. (Heavenly Father has figured me out. He knows how my head works so he made sure I got it good this time.) I was so happy that I couldn't stop crying. Heavenly Father is aware of me and he is listening to me. And since that day the blessing have been pouring in. Let me share a few of them with you:
My daughter Morgan has been stressing. She thinks she is so sly and I don't know when things are bothering her, but I do. And knowing that she was struggling I had been praying for her to feel peace and reassurance. So when these blessings started pouring in for her I was so grateful. Even though these blessings came to her we as a family felt blessed. Because as you know when one is blessed so is everyone else. Before I tell you Morgan's blessings let me share a little about her. Morgan is amazing. Pure and simple. This one beautiful woman (ugh I hate typing that, yes she is a woman now, but she is my baby girl and always will be.) is so gifted and talented. She doesn't always see it, but she truly is. She is gorgeous, honest, hardworking, smart, beautiful inside and out, she has a strong testimony of the gospel, she is a good example to her family and friends, she is caring, funny, witty, crazy, loving, compassionate, faithful, strong, courageous, sweet, daring, and basically AMAZEBALLS and I'm not just saying that because I am her mother. I could go on and on and I usually do. So when the blessing started pouring out for her I want you to know that no one deserves them more. Her first blessing came as a promotion at work and not only does the promotion give her more training and responsibility it also is allowing her to make more money which will help her to pay for all the things that she needs and wants. This opportunity will also help her grow. Her next blessing came as a scholarship for her Sophomore year. All her hard work and dedication to her studies paid off. This scholarship will help with the financial burdens that a college education can be. We as a family had been praying for her to be rewarded for her hard work and to allow her burden to be lightened. And our prayer was answered. So grateful!
My next blessing came in the shape of a nice long weekend in the mountains. We were able to get away and spend some time as a family enjoying the beautiful mountains that Heavenly Father created for us. We had a great time with family and friends making memories and sharing laughs. Morgan and her Dad built a snowman out of snow on a glacier. Morgan named in Melten Waters, Olaf's North American Cousin. He was so cute. Then Morgan and I were able to go on a four wheeler adventure, thanks to our cousins, and she and I had a great time. We have had a lot of rain here this summer and so all of the wild flowers were still in bloom. It was so beautiful. I came home feeling relaxed and full of happiness for a change.
My next blessing came this week. We as a family were able to go to the temple and do Taylor's temple work. What a beautiful night that was. Surrounded by family both here on earth and in heaven. Knowing that Taylor was there and anxiously waiting for his dad to help him get his work done. I was so grateful that Paul was worthy to do this work for him. I am blessed to be married to such an amazing man who honors his priesthood. I was filled with the spirit that day. Everything was beautiful. It was a happy day in the Wright family.
These are just a few of the many blessings that we have been blessed with in just a matter of weeks. There are always blessings around us some that we don't even notice or that we take for granted. I've learned over the last year to really try hard to look for the blessings and acknowledge them and be grateful for them. Life is full of challenges and struggles that's why we are here and it is so easy to get overwhelmed by our challenges, I know this first hand it's HARD but taking the time to look for the blessings really helps. I'm not saying that I don't have bad days, I do and I'm still learning. Learning to take each day as it comes and working hard each day to see it through whether it's good, bad, or ugly. I know that if I am close to my Heavenly Father he will help me through. And as I strive to stay close to my Heavenly Father I am learning so much and growing.
BLESSINGS BABY -- YA GOTTA LOVE EM!
