I've always thought in the back of my mind that if there was anything I needed to work through in life, that I would just try to take care of it on my own and involve other people to help me out. Friendship has a very important part of my life and it was never something that I take for granted because from personal experiences I've learned to realize who my true friends are & others who are not. I am grateful for those people who have continuously reached out their hands to help me through what could be any particular situation and trying my hardest to never forget it. I know that not only does their support give me a boost of confidence I really need more than anything else, but having the knowledge of having the Savior on my side every single step of the way. He has guided me through moments that I thought were completely unncessary and not what I really wanted to experience for myself but it never fails to put a smile on my face, whenever I need it the most. He has never once let me not feel as though what he was putting me through at the time, was not something he knew I couldn't handle without his strength and direction. I am definitely humbled & blessed to know that in regards of whatever we are dealing with, all of us have someone who perfectly knows what it feels like to be in that challenging time. He has never once failed me in what could have been a lot more trying situation in regards of all that has taken place this week and seeing the light at the end of this tunnel. Remember awhile back in one of my blog posts when I shared about this portrait of Christ that hangs on the wall of my family room & I have looked carefully at that photo more times than I ever have before. It really has such a great and wonderful importance to me as I ponder on the many things that He has done for me so that I could be here today.
When I Look At You
Everybody needs inspiration.
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the night's are long
Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
(Chorus)
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am, like the stars hold the moon
Right where they belong
And I know I'm not alone!
I honestly feel like the words in this beautiful song remind me of whenever we need to look at the brighter side of any situation we have in this life, that our Savior will be there to walk us through it and no matter the challenging times that lie ahead--there is no doubt in my mind about him talking with each of us through this song. Never shy away from turning yourself to someone who has been through it all and probably so much more than we could ever imagine at this time in our lives. This week has been one of the most spiritual and uplifting ones for me because in spite of all the many things that were going on around me. If there was anything from this week that I wished had never taken place, I probably would not be sitting here right now and sharing my thoughts with all of you on what this means to me on a personal level. I am truly blessed for the ways this life has continued giving me experiences so that I can keep learning and growing into what my Savior would like me 2 be in this world.
Closing Remarks
I would never second guess that because of what I've shared with you all today, that I would not think twice about turning to look at the Savior for his strength in helping me through the struggles each one of us consistently deal with. I know he has raised me up to not only be a little better, but to never stop striving to be more like him in the many things that could easily bring us down. I know this gospel is true without a shadow of a doubt and I would not know what to do in any situation or challenge that he didn't know I couldn't see myself not putting my faith/trust in his hands.
