I am still breathing....

So life lately has thrown us for a HUGE loop. The one thing I always swore was the one thing that would be able to break me, my faith, my sanity, my heart, has happened. Amazing I am still breathing. It has been a REALLY long time since any serious trials have been thrown my way. My liver running amuck with a mind of it's own always sits on the back burner. There are the financial difficulties that constantly loom with this economy. Just fear that everything I know and love could in the blink of an cease to exist. These, for me, have always been just a pin prick compared to how broken I thought I would be if I lost the one thing that would make me question my FAITH and my BELIEF in my Father's plan for me. It has happened and though "WHY!!!!!!" has kept pounding in my head, and night after night I have gone with out sleep, and knot after knot keeps forming in my stomach, I am still alive and I have to let you know the only thing that has kept me hanging on is a quiet prayer, or thought of my heart, love from a husband and child, and the soft arms that have silently enveloped me(only when I am still enough to recognize their presence) have kept me alive. Kept me able to survive the crumbling or at least what felt like the crumbling of my world. I can say with full conviction of heart, Satan, World, Whatever adversary lies out there, BRING IT ON!!!! I am not broken, I am still breathing, and it is only by sweet never ending grace that I can say My Father lives. My Savior lives. I live and I am happy,

Rachel, I havent talked to you in a really long time so I am not sure what kinds of struggles you are going through at this point in your life. But I just want you to know that in the short amount of time that we spent together years ago I have known you to be one of the strongest people I have ever met. You are amazing to me and I try to follow your example. You are so sweet and I hope that everything turns around for the better. Let me know if you need anything.

Hi honey, I love you, I just found out today, I am still in a state of shock. I would like to have had a little notice so I could be there for my beautiful nieces, however, I am here for you now. You keep your chin up, only on the days you feel like it, you don't have to be happy all the time, and when those times happen, please let me help you. You are a Rock, and you have the perfect attitude, and ..."this too shall pass". I love You
