Lately I have been feeling overwhelmed. Most of those that know me, know that I get this way often. It is a little different this time. It is not because I am busy with my business, or the kids..... I am feeling this huge pressure to better our situation and find a place to move with in 8 months. I look at our finances and don't know how we will be able to accomplish so much so quickly. I panic because I don't feel like I am selling enough, doing enough with the kids, doing enough to be a great wife and mother. It is amazing if I can go the entire time at church with out tears flowing.
From Presiden Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk "Forget Me Not"=
Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love.
Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!
He who created and knows the stars knows you and your name—you are the daughters of His kingdom. The Psalmist wrote:
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”5
God loves you because you are His child. He loves you even though at times you may feel lonely or make mistakes.
The love of God and the power of the restored gospel are redemptive and saving. If you will only allow His divine love into your life, it can dress any wound, heal any hurt, and soften any sorrow.
We are promised that if we look to the lord that he will help us with our trials. He will hold our hands, walk with us during the dark times. I just know I have to keep trying. Eight months seems like a small amount of time but I have to HOPE and have FAITH that it will be enough. That something amazing is in store for us. This is just a set up for a HUGE positive....... I hope
