Reality check....

I have heard several times when in doubt, try him. With much anger and hesitation, I did. I had several medical bills that needed to be paid, but even with these rocks in my shoe there was still the reality that I needed to pay tithing first. Going through my recent rough patch, I wanted to see if paying my tithing instead of my bills would truly make a difference in my happiness. My friends, IT DID!!! The medical bills can wait but being faithful to the Lord even when I was throwing my hands up in the air and screaming really was so much more important. We have been blessed with more than enough. Sweet, wonderful, giving friends who have shared their "extra" with us. And family, who, no matter how bad things get, will love you unconditionally. So through this trial and a much needed slap in the back of the head, I have come back to my roots. 1. My husband and my sweet little sassafrass are my two most favorite people in the world. 2. I need to get my butt back in gear and get to the temple and give back. 3. The Lord is always their and if you exercise even the tiniest bit of faith, he blesses you 10 fold, or more than that, however much that may be. I am overwhelmed with my little blessings that keep popping up everywhere. There is a quote that I heard in my in-laws ward when I was first married, "I am constantly driven to my knees by the overwhelming conviction I have no where else to go." That rings true for me. I had no where else to go except down on my knees and because of that one tiny act of FAITH I am on cloud 9. I love this gospel and my family more than words can express. It is real. It is true! Try it.
