Family and Faith

Life has been tough lately...
I am not going to lie, or try and hide it.
We are going through some really hard times right now.

I have not wanted to write lately, I have been suppressing my thoughts.
I feel like they are either fake, or to negative to share.

We are loosing our home right now, as so many others in our country. There is so much uncertainty in our lives. Where will we live? Eric has some work for now, but what about in a month, or two. How will we support our family. What is to come of our future? It is very humbling to say the least.

I have prayed a lot.

There are so many lessons to be learned through our trials, and I have been trying really hard to embrace all the lessons from this experience.

I thank my Heavenly Father for this experience, because through this experience, and only through our trials can we truly know him, and his unconditional love for us! It is like friendship, you have friends you hang out with, and have a good time with. But the closest friends are the ones who hold your hand through the dark times in your life,That help you to see the light at the end of your tunnel, when you can not see. I feel that through our trials we become closest to God, and he becomes that close friend to us, he holds our hand through it, and we truly gain a stronger bond to him, so why would we not embrace our trials?
We also put into perspective what really matters most in life,
It is not things!
Not our house, or the things in it.
Not our body, or the look of perfection we all desire.
Bottom line, it is our FAMILY, and our FAITH, and really that is all that truly matters!
I really don't care where I live, it could be a 2 bedroom apartment,
if I have my family anywhere I live is HOME!
I really am thankful, I am thankful for my blessings. Thankful for my family, thankful for my faith in God, and thankful for all that I have! And even though the road has had some bumps along the way, my path will still remain on the path that is leading me to my eternal home, which is a mansion that if earned, can and will never be taken..
I know that the Lord is there, that he lives, and that he love us! I know that he is mindful of our family, and of our needs. And I am thankful for the things that matter most in life! The things that money can't buy.
Family and Faith!
And I am ever so blessed to have both!
