Trials....

D&c 122
-And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
- The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

We teach, we hear, we talk about trails.. It's so different when you experience them.. Thats when you really learn.. I've found myself asking "Why" so many times this past month.. Isn't that the normal when you're going through your own trails?? Maybe I'm just different... Maybe not.. But in asking "Why" I've had a chance to grow closer to my Savior because He answered me... He answered little ole me.. and here I am again asking "Why".. Why would He answer me??? Could it possibly be because He knows what I'm going through.. Could it be because He cares... Could it be because He knew I would listen to His comfort.. Could it be because He LOVES me..... well, YES, YES YES to all of the above!!!

We lost our baby at 5 months pregnant.. His poor little heart gave out on Him.. This is the first time we've ever experienced so much heart ache.. but we are okay... with the knowledge we've been given... we will cry, we will laugh, we will wait.. until our baby comes back...

Yes He does Loves Me.... The comfort I've felt tells me so!!
