"I thank the Lord for any given day..."
Every Sunday after I wake up, I go to the computer and turn on my pandora.com radio!! I type in "Hilary Weeks" so that pandora will search for her music and others like it.. Well today is just like any other! I sang my little heart out this morning while listening to the spiritual music while getting ready for church! Sometimes I just sit in this room and listen to every beautiful word. I am humbled every Sunday while I keep at this tradition! Music is such a powerful tool in my life. I find it impossible to sit here, listening to this music, thinking of anything but that sacrifice that was made in order for me to live today.
My life is so very blessed. I have a mother who is selfless in every way and a father who has an attitude on life that I have always admired. An older brother who is so honest and who has been right there for me whenever I needed him. A sister in law with such a great desire to do and learn more. My baby sister who has been the great reminder I have needed to remember to never judge another and to always believe in others when they may seem lost. And my pride and joy little brother who I admire in every way. He will change lives someday with the unique spirit he has always carried.
The lord let me travel down one rocky road to figure out who I really was. At times I doubted his love for me because I thought he was taking away everything I ever loved. I could have never been more wrong. So many amazing people came into my life and influenced me for the better. But just when I thought I had lost everything, my wonderful husband showed up and showed me everything I never knew I was looking for. The Lord does has a plan for each of us and I am so grateful he is trusting Robbie and I to build an eternal family.
And I could not be more blessed than to have the friends that I do. Growing up, my parents always tried to teach me that friendships would change and that if you only had a small handful of true friends then your life would be blessed. I can honestly say they were right. My life is better because of those friends in my life, and I hope they know who they are.
Sorry if this post was a bit to personal, but today I am so grateful for my life and every blessing I have. My savior is near and I know I am loved and protected. The greatest gift I have ever received is the gift of the gospel that I live. The power and light of its truth has brought immense joy into my life. I want my friends and family, and all of you, to know that I believe with all of my heart that the church is true and that because of the sacrifice that was made for each of us, we will one day return to live with our Savior. And nothing else in the world will matter, nothing will make us think any less of others, all that we once worried about will all seem so small, there will be unconditional love around us... and I look forward to that day.
