What if....

What if :: so this came to me tonight while I was talking to my sister back in Chino Hills Ca. I had a lot on my mind and sooo many blessing has been coming to our family! Our Heavenly Father has been blessing us and letting us know that he does hear our prayers, and that he answers them when we least expect it ( he really does)... Some times I wonder why? and dont know why....There is some many questions that I have for our Heavenly Father. I try so hard to be a good person and a good mother and "sometimes" a good wife. Then I wonder if it is good enough for him. Time flys by so quickly and Im a true believer that there is a Prophet here on earth. I do also believe that our father in heaven did appear to Joesph Smith. There are so many things that people take for granted that our God has created for us... times like this makes me be thankful for his wonderful ideas.... I gotten over the ,"I want to go back to Cali." thing... I know that he been right next to me and my family to overcome this situation. Honestly, if you really think about it what if we didnt have :
  • Cell phones...( I need that to call my sister cause it doesnt charge my phone for long distance)
  • Internet...( I could receive pictures from the family that they take that same day)
  • A roof over our heads...
  • Vehicle
  • Airplanes
  • Bed to sleep on
  • Air condition
  • Husband/Wife
  • Children ( wait that would be a good thing to not have any... j/k )
  • Friends
  • Camera
  • Clothing
  • Garments ( cant wait to get mine )
  • Food on the table
  • yard sales ( had to put that one in )
  • Family
  • Comfort/ safety
  • Knowing that we have something to look forward to when our Heavenly Father calls us back home.
  • Temples
  • THE CHURCH.....

I would be lost! Okay okay gettin rid of the cell phones, Internet thang! I know that sometimes I take life for granted and I know I shouldnt... I need to be patient about things and always remember the "Our time, is waaayyy different from God's time" we may want things NOW!!! but we need to wait and listen to the spirit! and that is sometimes hard for me. I need to remember to thank him for everything that he has provided for my family and friends. There are so many blessing that he gives us and never stops giving. Sometimes I need to slow down and take one day at a time cause we need to live life to the fullest!

  1. Amen sista!

    I could not live without my cell and the internet. Pathetic, I know....

    It is good to look around to count your blessings. But then it can be overwhelming because He has given you so much and what in return do you give him? Just like you said, being the best you can.

    In terms of the 'want-to-go-back-to-cali' thing. I'm learning that it is not about what we want, but where we need to be for ourselves and those who we may be able to help along the way. As we forget ourselves and conform our will to His, you look around and see that He has blessed you more abundantly, completely, and accurately than anything you could have picked out and hoped for yourself.

    SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE!!

  4. I just love your testimony! Things do happen for a reason. Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us, even if it isn't the plan we would have chosen for ourselves. His plan is always the best one for us. My faith is in Him right now with our situation. I know we'll be taken care of even though we have no idea how! Miss and love you bunches!
