Dear Life,

Sometimes you are really awful and very stressful. You seem to like to sneek up on me and then dump a big bucket of trials on my shoulders, and you know about my monster shoulder. You don't usually send me one, you send them in bulk.

I am going to assume it's because you think I am so awesome and strong that I won't even feel that thousand pounds you added.

And you know what, sometimes I don't. Sometimes it feels like a feather. Like when the Mr. is being nice and spends time with us even when the kids are whining. Or when I am laughing with my mom and sisters. Because we can laugh at things that really suck. Or because I hear a song and it reminds me that I must not be the only one who feels this way because someone else wrote about it.

But I think what has kept me afloat is this.


I can feel like you are going to take me out.

Then I go and study my scriptures and pray to my Father in Heaven and then my heart feels peace. The scriptures have been heaven sent, literally. They give me guidance and remind me of my purpose. They are true and they bring me comfort. And I know I will be given strength and the Lord is trying to make me awesome because He sent YOU my way.

So...life

right now you really suck, but you can bring it on because you can't take me out.

Well, at least not today.
