Ever since this last weekend, I've been in need of a little girl time. Yesterday, my totally awesome friend Chelsey who is home for a short military break surprised me with a phone call asking me to go to lunch with her. When she got to my house, she brought me a yummy Symphony bar (the almond and toffee chips are my favorite which I never told her) for me. We then went to one of my two favorite Mexican restaurants, Su Casa.
Chelsey had later asked me if I wanted to have a "girl's day out." So today, Chelsey myself and her little brother Devin all went out for a much needed relaxing day! Her other friends couldn't make it for various reasons so it ended up just being the three of us. The day began going to the mall and getting manicures and pedicures. I only got a pedicure, but my feet look so pretty! After that we decided to do lunch. It was a really good day that was very much needed after this last weekend. Thank you Chels!
I really love and miss all my friends. They are truly some of the best people I know!
I just want to take a moment and thank you all for your kind words of support. I am truly grateful for all your thoughts and prayers. I am really okay with everything that happened this past week now. I wasn't very far along, and I know it could have been a lot worse. I've accepted it and now I'm moving on.
I've come to realize that it's not the end of the world. I know I will have more children eventually when the time is right. I know that it is all in God's hands and I should accept his will, not mine. I was reminded of this Sunday while studying for my Primary lesson that I had no intention of teaching, that is until I read it. It was ironically on adversity. Talk about an eye opener. The scriptures that I read for that lesson had brought me so much peace and comfort; more than anything I had ever before experienced. I knew that I was not alone. I knew I was going to be okay.
"My son (or daughter), peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine affliction shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exhalt thee on high."
"....and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son (or daughter), that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"
