Life can be so hard sometimes...
and in life we get trials that seem unbearable. We ask why us??? and what am I supposed to learn from this challenge??? It seems so unfair.....
I love this quote from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf that HELPS answers this...
"The things we hope in sustain us during our daily walk. They uphold us through trials, temptations, and sorrow. Everyone has experienced discouragement and difficulty. Indeed, there are times when the darkness may seem unbearable. It is in these times that the divine principles of the restored gospel we hope in can uphold us and carry us until, once again, we walk in the light."
"We hope in Jesus the Christ, in the goodness of God, in the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, in the knowledge that prayers are heard and answered. Because God has been faithful and kept His promises in the past, we can hope with confidence that God will keep His promises to us in the present and in the future. In times of distress, we can hold tightly to the hope that things will work together for our good (D&C 90:24) as we follow the counsel of God's Prophets. This type of hope in God, His goodness, and His power refreshes us with courage during difficult challenges and gives strength to those who feel threatened by enclosing walls of fear, doubt, and despair."
"The Infinite Power Hope,"President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I believe this with all my heart and I am so grateful for a gospel that is my strength every day.....Love you sis...

thank you, tawny. thank you so much.
Love you girl.
After reading Brie's blog this post is even more beautiful. I watched my then-pregant sister lose a baby at 21 weeks last year, and it was one of the hardest things to see. So I understand a little bit of your point of view in this Tawny and it was even more frustrating for me because my sister is not a member of the church and beautiful words like the ones you shared did not provide any comfort for her. Brie is so lucky to have so many sisters to help her through this. You guys are one awesome family!
Beautiful words. Love you Brie.
