My heart aches for my sweet sister Carli. I call her my sister because that is just what she is to us. She married my brother 8 years ago. Her lovely mother Karen has returned to a peaceful exisitence with our Heavenly Father. My mind keeps returning to the hole that has been left in her heart and life. I feel conflicted about this post and I think the blame goes to Oprah and her publicity of "The Secret" I am going to go with my gut on this one because I think it needs to be brain dumped so I can move on. I believe that we are sent on this journey with purpose. We are guided by a divine Master that shows us his hand in all we do. I want my family to know that I have full testimony of why we are here and where we are going. Each of our journeys are different but one thing is same we are each loved by a Heavenly Father who, if faithful, will provide for our return to Him. I can not even count the amount of times that I have felt the Lords hand in my behalf. I have been guided, watched over, and blessed by so many of you. You have filled voids in my life when they needed to be filled, you have directed my path when it has gone astray, you have enriched my life by your faithful obedience. I feel so loved and protected by all of the lives that I have crossed my path. Some of you I no longer get the pleasure of seeing on a regular basis but please note that your imprint has been placed in my heart forever. I feel blessed to have gleaned the knowledge that my Heavenly Father wanted me to learn. Thank You for your shining examples and caring hearts. I have been given much and feel that much is required of me. I hope that I am building a legacy of faith that will show the same kind of love and support to those around me.
A verse of scripture that has helped through the years. Doctrine and Covenants 121:7-9
I have been a thoughtful mood for a few weeks. I suppose it is the back to school self-reflection mode that I get into every fall. Taking inventory of my journey and making the necessary adjustments. As for "The Secret"...I get it but I am more of a choice kind of gal. Your choices lead your journey. You don't like you journey choose different. I know how it sounds its just how I feel once you weed through all the fluff of Oprah and her followers. What will they do at the end of the season. Really? *insert sarcasm*
