Day Three

Day three came with sore muscles and small movements!! I am definitely not complaining, because I know that the soreness is changing my body. I definitely had a peaceful day yesterday, Nathan was quiet and slept so great during his naps. I was able to accomplish cleaning my house finally, and I also had some nice down time where I could read.

I couldn't help thinking yesterday of how peaceful and content I was feeling. I was also thinking about desires. When I was reading my scriptures, I found it interesting that Nephi promises that the desires of your heart can happen, if you are willing to put your trust in the Lord. As I look back in my life, I have definitely seen that happen. The biggest desire was sweet Nathan entering our lives. I truly was tested there, and I truly had to lay my complete trust at the Savior's feet. So with that knowledge I know that I can accomplish this.

I can accomplish it because this is a trial, experience, test, etc. that the Lord has placed before me. It is one I have pushed to the wayside too many times and now it is at the forefront because I need to do it now. I think as mother's we so easily give of ourselves. We sacrifice so much that we forget to take care of ourselves. I know that there have been many times in my life where I have sat dumbfounded, wondering how do I help myself without feeling selfish? I don't know the answer yet, but I do know that there is a way.

I am just a person, but a person whom is loved greatly by a Heavenly Father, and Savior. I mean something to them. I am their treasure, their hope. I may not know fully how to care for myself to the best of my ability but I will be shown. I will discover why I am who I am, why the Lord loves me so. I will learn to love me as they love me.
