As I sit here this beautiful sabbath morning I write to tell all that everything happens for a purpose beyond our knowledge. But as we have all been taught, faith is what gets us through all the hard times and trials. this past week has been with out a doubt one of the hardest for me. See {here} for the reason.
I have grown so much this past year with this trial that the Lord our Savior has given me. I know that he didn't give me this so I would crumble and be defeated, he gave it to me because he knew I could handle it and grow from it. To become stronger, better, wiser. He gave it to me because he LOVES me. With out a doubt, I know more than ever that me loves me and wants me to return to him. He gives us all trials so we can become more like him. I truly have a testimony that as we grow and learn from all our trials we will return to our Savior once again, and that we can be with our families forever.
I don't know if you have ever read the NieNie Dialogues, if not go {here} and get addicted. This woman is amazing. she has faced a very difficult trial this past year. Yes, she does get down {who doesn't} but she comes out always with a positive attitude about her trials and tries to make the best of it. she LOVES her family more than life and strives to be the best she can be to them and to the Gospel. She has become one of my heros in so many ways. Especially in this post {here} and {here}. What a truly amazing woman.
So in honor of bother my Father and NieNie, I went to Etsy {my favorite shop btw} and purchased this fantastic necklace. {go here} for the necklace.
A simple reminder around my neck everyday that ALL IS WELL. No matter what we are going through or how big our recent trials are. ALL IS WELL. Our Savior loves us more than anything and knows us more than we know ourselves. He simply is just amazing, and I am so glad that I know that now, with out a doubt, I know that this is true.
I love the details in the packaging:)

Aunt Kim... You always know how to help me and strengthen me. This last week my uncle died, my dad's oldest brother. And it's hard, and there is also some other stuff going on in my family and sometimes I just wonder why it happens. But I do know it's for a reason, and you're right, it's to strengthen us. Thanks for a great week and for hanging out with me! You are wonderful and such a great friend, I'm so blessed to know you.
