I forget that ofte...We were sent here to be tried. I forget that often. But I think the Lord wants to see if we'll remember Him and call upon Him in our times of greatest weakness. My pride usually gets the best of me as I think I can do it on my own. And it's not until I realize that I can't that I finally find relief for my own trials. I'm sorry about your knees sweet lady. You know how I like to share oils with people? I actually shared oils with a lady out here in Baltimore that reminded me of you a bit. She's 75 and her husband recently died too and she misses him terribly. I felt terrible to find out she had actually had quite the allergic reaction to the oils I had applied to her hands and feet. But she was so sweet and understanding and told me that she was grateful I came to try them on her anyways. She said that she truly believed that her reason for being in so much pain was because she felt that the Lord wanted her to turn to Him and knew that through her pain, she would. I felt terrible for making her more uncomfortable but she firmly reassured me that I was just a messenger the Lord had sent to comfort her. I couldn't even see myself in that light. This sweet Baptist woman saw that in me. So truly, I think she was the angel that came into my life to remind me of MY purposes. Sometimes I feel that other people experience these trials and share them, in order to inspire others like myself to keep moving forward.

He...Coping... some days it seems that is all we do! Here's what I did yesterday (a particularly rough day in my neck of the woods)<br />I watched this: <br />http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages#good-things-to-come<br /><br />Then I read the talk it came from. <br /><br />And today, I weeded an onion patch. And I thought about the story from the end of this talk: http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=775<br /><br />And I keep moving forward.
