He Knows Me

I'm always amazed how much my Savior knows me and knows what I am in need of. Sunday was General Conference and there were some talks that really seemed to hit home with me. Two of my kids have had some struggles lately and I have felt so overwhelmed and a little abandoned by the Lord. I just haven't felt like my prayers have been answered when I needed them too.

One talk was about enduring our trials and that some trials take longer than others.Another one was by Richard G. Scott he talked about losing one of their children when he was a baby. When he was talking about that I was holding my little sleeping Diego and sobbing especially since he has had some challenges lately. I felt the spirit so strongly and can't even begin to imagine the pain him and his wife must have been feeling.That has always been one of my biggest fears.

I loved the tender way he talked about his wife and the sanctity of marriage. I know that without my sweet husband I would not have been able to bear some of the trials we have had and am glad that he is by my side. I hope that someday my children will be able to share a loving marriage like we have.

I'm sure everyone else got different meanings from each talk but selfishly I am going to assume that they were just for me and just what I needed. Once again I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who knows me and my needs even when I don't.

I am so sorry you have had so much health stuff going on with him...that is so scary. I hope you get it all worked out. I am so sorry. I saw that you said something about Primary Childrens on Facebook. I worked there for 5 years...it is an amazing place..I hope you got some questions answered and it will all be okay. Loves.

Isn't it amazing how we feel like the talks are specifically for us? I loved that talk and I felt that same way about some of the other talks. The savior is mindful of you and your cute family. Love you all!
