"Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty...You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. What you create doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside. If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I have been so blessed to have made so many great friends for the short time I have been blogging. I am grateful for all your kindness and words of encouragement. It makes blogging that more fun:)
Saturday night as I was preparing my lesson for my Sunday School Class (a bunch of adorable 6 year olds), I came across this talk I thought I would share it.
There has been a lot of not so exciting things that me and the hubby have been going through, with going through all the headache and not being able to have children. I have always wanted to be a mom from the time I was little. My husband and I have been married for about 7 years with no luck of children. When I first found out that we would have a hard time starting a family, I was upset. I felt like the world was out to get me with the thing that I wanted most in life. It was really hard for me to watch my friends announce they were expecting and put on a "smile" and act like it was the best thing I have heard. Yes, I was really excited for them but it just reminded me that... I'm not. There have been many days where I cried too many tears and became a little "jealous" of others and wonder "why me". With trials comes blessings, even though this trial hasn't been the one I ever wanted to go through, it has taught me a lot. It has made my faith in Christ grow and has brought me and my husband closer together. I know that if I keep strong in my faith, we will eventually have a little family.
I usually keep my personal life "personal" but I really felt inspired to share a little bit of my experience.
