HOPE YOU KNOW

So, I stumbled across this quote and a video on another blog and it seriously brought me to tears I know I am not the only one that has hard times, but sometimes it is just good for me to remember that Heavenly Father is aware of my struggles and my needs and he will bless me in ways that I can't even comprehend. Everyone has their own set of hard times or struggles, and if I just continue to have faith and do what I know I am supposed to, I will be blessed. It may not be tomorrow, or next week, heck . . . it may not be for years. But the blessings will come. I find myself thinking "it will pay off, this will improve, it will all be worth it" and it will. I just need to remember to be a good wife, a loving mom, and a good friend to others around me. You never really know when someone right close to you may be struggling with something. But you could be the difference that helps them in some way. I have to remember that when I kneel down to pray and I don't know what to say other than "hope you know, I having a hard time", I don't even need to say that. He knows and he will bless me with answers to my prayers. He will surround me with people that will inspire me, patience with my kids and everything that is going on, and inspiration as to what to do. I just need to stay close to Heavenly Father in the hard times. It's like what Ben says when I tell him I don't feel like praying, he tells me that is when I really should be praying. Blessings will come, I have faith and really do believe.

(I know this is not a fun post to read, but this is real life. Real life is my house being a mess, my kids screaming at me and me screaming at my kids, and just having those moments where you just feel like you are barely hanging on. And it is just good to know that I am not the only one that doesn't have a perfect life. It's a good reminder to me that I always need to work on things)
