Hard Times...

So Many of you may know what has been going on in our family and others may have no clue, for those who have asked here is what is going on. My Sister in law has left my brother in law. She has decided she is no longer happy in her current situation and needs to go and find herself. This has brought on allot of stress and hardship on the family. I hope that their four kids that we all love will make it though this situation without much damage from either side. We all still love her and hope the best out come for both parties. With that said what I'm about to write is not because of one person or one specific couple. I have 3 people friends and family who are currently going through a divorce for all reasons that they are working out. Also this whole Proposition 8 thing is driving me crazy. So with all of this going on this is my opinion about life and love in general.

In these last days I can totally see the second coming on the heals of tomorrow! This world is completely selfish and mean! It is all about me, me, me! The family definition as a whole is changing and i hate that! I am so glad that i have a iron rod that i can hold on to and know that that will never lead me astray. I am so glad that i have the church to guide me and direct me. I appreciate the family proclamation and stand behind it 120%. I am so glad that i know who i am, i know my plan that has been set for me. I know i have had promises that have fulfilled and promises that are lying in store for my life if I choose to keep my life in order to receive them. I am so glad for a grateful and wonderful husband who puts the lord and his family first. I know i am not perfect but i do know the things that are important in this life and i know that i have made covenants and promises to people and the lord that i am not willing to compromise in anyway possible.

I think that gratitude is the key to success. We can criticize as much as we like but in the long run if we think of how much that has been done for us, and how much we can do for other people I think there is the key to happiness. If we all start thinking about others instead of ourselves which i understand is hard to do all the time or sometimes even at all, i think there we will find ourselves and appreciate the world around us.

we are so sorry to hear of your family troubles, I hope everything works out o.k for them. I have meet some of Michaels family, and I know they are wonderful and can help these kids through a lot. This was a wonderful reminder of how grateful I am for my family, and even though it gets hard, I do not want to be anywhere else.
