Compelled

So I don't know why but I felt so compelled to share my testimony in Relief Society today but they cut it off before I got the chance to go up there so I thought I would blog it because I didn't know what else to do!
I just want to share the great love and appreciation I have for Priesthood blessings. As many of you may know, we just recently lost a baby and I was so grateful that Dustin was able to give me such a beautiful blessing that brought great comfort to me at the time. It is a tough thing to deal with and just to know that the Lord knew what I was going through and he let Dustin know the things which he wanted me to know in the blessing was so comforting to me and brought a great peace. I love knowing that the Lord is always there and he has always suffered as we have and he gives us these challenges because he knows that we can conquer the problems and hard times and not only grow stronger as a couple but as a family as well. I love this gospel and the knowledge that it brings that we may see our loved ones again. I love the fact in knowing that he has a plan for us and if we live our lives as we should, everything will work out the way it is supposed to and we will always be ok. I just wanted to say these things and I am so happy to be able to have the opportunity to teach this gospel to our children and I know in my heart that it is true. I am grateful for the opportunity the Lord gives us to be able to become mothers. I am so grateful for the repentence process and for how many lives that it helps. I love the Lord and his gospel. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
