Blessings everywhere

Thanks you all for your simpathy and prayers! I have amazing family and friends! I also have so many things to be thankful for... so I have been trying to focus enough on my blessings that I don't let the hard things be overwhelming! I have noticed that I don't even have to look very hard, everywhere I look I see that the Lord is blessing me and His hand in my life is so obvious!

life happens

How do we as parents, give love and support, knowing our children have agency to make their own choices, but feel the wrong choice is being made! At times I think I can feel a small piece of how our Heavenly Father feels as he watches us make our way through the road of life. Sometime there are speed bumps, other times we make total detours ... but along the way our navigator is there hoping we will turn to Him, and hoping we will listen to His counsel. When our children make turns, we sometimes think we know what is best for them, and that the turn they are making is wrong , but because of agency we stand by, voicing our concern and encouragement and hope they will know our concern is based on our love, and our love will always be there no matter what the out come of their choices.

Womans conference

I spent the last 2 days amid fantastic woman. I have never gone to womans conference before, and it was AMAZING! The spirit was strong and it bore witness time and time again about the truths I was being taught! WOW, it has given me new goals to reach for and insight into compassion for everyone around me. I also so Sarah for a quick moment... that was great!

Feeling better

Well, I have been on my diabetes medications for nine days and my blood sugar has dropped from 268 to 165. I am feeling much better! Now if I can just figure out this counting carbs stuff!

reason for feeling yucky!

Well I went to the doctor today because I just have not been feeling very good for the last....hm.... I don't know, several months. But its not like I just started feeling yucky, its been a gradual thing and I recently realized its been quite a while since I felt really good. Anyway, the lab results are not back, but the doctor, after asking me about my blood tests I have been taking at home the past few weeks, tells me I am now diabetic. He also wanted to know if there was anything else we are dealing with, so they will do all the blood work and let me know tomorrow how we will begin treating this. I think in my heart I knew this was the answer I would be getting, now I am just trying to absorb it is really true.
