Sarah's Journal

Today was a good day. The Spirit came really strong to the lesson I was giving the Beehives and I could see many of them thinking about what we were discussing. We talked about Divine Nature along with Who we are Are and Who we Can Become. We stressed the fact that we Are, Always have been, and Always will be Daughters of God, and if Daughters of God, then who we can become is affected by how we treat ourselves, build ourselves up, talk to ourselves, and how we pray to God to know His will for us. It was a really neat lesson and I was so grateful to the Lord as I feel like I've had less and less time to prepare the lessons. I think I'm getting a bit run down preparing lessons for every Sunday and activities for every Wednesday. I know the Lord is helping and carrying me because I simply couldn't do it otherwise!

These past years have brought such changes to myself and my family. I hardly know where to begin. After losing Thomas, I battled anxiety and depression that I didn't realize I had. I finally started seeing a therapist after realizing that I needed help to overcome the challenges I was facing. He was able to help me start to think more rationally again. It was what I needed--rational vs irrational thinking and with the help and blessing of the Lord I was able to overcome. As a last tidbit of fun for tonight's entry-I am pregnant! We are 18 weeks with our little Rainbow Miracle Baby and I am Beyond Thrilled! We are looking forward to our ultrasound next week (though we haven't decided if we want to know the gender or not yet) and the Fetal Echo in mid-February where we get to celebrate with our cardiologist hopefully giving us good news!
