He Knows us and He Loves us...

As you can tell from my post yesterday, I was in a pretty dark place. So this morning I woke and though about what I could do about it and the thought came that I need to go to the temple. So I am planning on doing that right after Thanksgiving. But what do I do right now... Of course.. read the scriptures. So I went to the scriptures with the sincere desire to get some direction, and this is what I read... Alma 13

27 And now, my brethren, I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that ye would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins, and not procrastinate the day of your repentance;
28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;
29 Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest.
30 And may the Lord grant unto you repentance, that ye may not bring down his wrath upon you, that ye may not be bound down by the chains of hell, that ye may not suffer the second death.

This told me that He loves me and wants me to have direction and that I need to be humble and patient and that I need to have hope. That is the one thing I felt totally without yesterday... I felt I had no hope. I also recognize that I need to repent if I am to receive these things. So I am thankful today for the scriptures and for a loving Father in Heaven that knows me and knows what I need to hear! And for the Scriptures that are given to us to help direct and guide us.

Tears and Heartache.... I don't like them one bit !!!!!!!!

It is so hard to see someone you love on a road that you know is one of heartache. So what do you do? I want to throw myself in front of them as if a car was barrelling down on them ready to crush them at any minute, but I can't. I want to scream at the top of my lungs... "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? But I can't. I want to cry my heart out and beg them to change their path and chose the right path, that I believe will bring them more happiness, but I can't. All I can do is stand by, hoping and praying that in the end they will see the light and remember who they are and what they deserve and demand the best there is in life. I am so sad right now. But there is nothing I can do but pray for them...
