last year I made these letters and put them above our bed to help us remember and strive to become better people. In the last couple of months I have looked at these letters and felt as though I could be more grateful, wondering why I felt I deserved to have my prayer answered in a way that I thought would make me happy. I wasn't getting any resolution or answers. Then it happened, as it usually does for me. A soft thought came in the back of my mind, soft but powerful. My answer came, I was confused and frustrated with the answer. It wasn't what I had hoped for. Though, as time went on and more information available, I realized the truth. My prayer was answered. I didn't receive the answer my way but the lords. My trial is still here but for me I feel peace knowing that he loves me and that he is concerned about me and this is why, I am grateful.

That was beautiful, especially knowing some of what you are experiencing.
I love that Shonee! What a great attitude...I know everyday is not easy but so glad to know we have a loving Heavenly Father who loves and watches over us. Especially during our trials! Hope you know I love ya and pray for you often!
Thanks for sharing that Shonnee. I appreciate your strength.
Thanks for the inspiring post. I hope and pray for you that your burden may be lightened and that your prayer will be answered.
Love the post. Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh Shonee...I can understand a little of what you are going through right now but in a totally different way. I have felt Heavenly father wrap his arms around me this past little while as I have struggles with being a mom. Isn't it wonderful that he is aware of all of our struggles from one side of the spectrum to the other. I think of you often and pray that some day you will be blessed with your hearts desires. You deserve it so much!!!
Shonee, thank you so much for sharing that. Lately I have been struggling with being grateful and this had made my day! Trials are always so hard but I know that when we overcome them we do it with strentgh and understanding. Thank you so much for such a great post!
