Thankful...

I have to share a little something that may or may not be a little too personal for a blog that is frequented by who knows whom, but today I just have to thank my Heavenly Father and share my testimony that He is mindful of each and every one of us. Even a small girl living in T-town with way too many blessings already. I don't know how many of you know about my health problems and I assure you this post isn't to get sympathy...although checks in the mail are perfectly acceptable...just kidding. I have a disease called Ulcerative Colitis as well as my recently diagnosed ailment of Spondyloarthritis. Good times, yes? Well, I have been so exhausted and unable to feel like I can muster energy of any sort and last night I was feeling quite discouraged. I was just really tired of waking up, well, tired. I am so grateful for the power of prayer and that we have a Father ready and willing to give us what we need. Because this morning I woke up at 7:15, on my own feeling super refreshed and ready to go. I didn't wake up a million times to go to the bathroom (I told you too much information might be given) and I feel really, what's the word...normal and ready to party with my little lady and sweet husband! It really was just what I needed. Even if I wake up dog tired tomorrow, I can look back on today and remember just how good it felt and the tender mercies that the Lord gives us to remind us just how important we are to Him. This gospel is amazing and I am so grateful that we can keep gaining faith even through our trials. Love it!
