Okay, so I've been working on a top secret, completely amazing surprise for the last few months (and thinking about it a lot longer than that). The whole project boils down to an amazing event that could happen at any time now. I am about to burst with excitement and joy over this surprise. I can't wait until I can give more information...that will come within the next couple weeks...along with videos about my journey. Seriously, I'm giddy with excitement. Only a few people know about what I've been working on. I'm grateful for the support and love I've received this far. There are no words to describe my gratitude for the love and guidance I've received from my Heavenly Father. I know without His son, I could not have gotten through this process. I've had a lot of changes in my life that have turned my plans upside down. A friend once said they noticed my "deep relationship with Christ". This relationship is what has kept me from completely falling apart through out these trials. Locally, there is a historical site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called "Liberty Jail". This is one of the many places Joseph Smith was imprisoned. While there, Joseph Smith poured his heart out to God asking questions like "Where are you? Why have you left me? Why are you making me go through this?" and God responded with the following:
"My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes."-Doctrine and Covenants 121:7-8
These verses have brought me a lot of comfort through my trials. A talk I read a while back referred to our own "Liberty Jail moments" when we go through those feelings of despair as "blessons" or blessings we receive as we learn our lessons from trials. When my plans have been turned upside down, I have come to view them as blessons and ask myself what I can learn from it. Here's to exciting projects and trials!!! (not that I want more trials...I'm grateful for my blessings gained from trials, but a trial-free period for a while is nice as well.) P.S. there will be more about Liberty Jail to come. I'm tempted to just blurt out my project because it's been so long since I've blogged, there is probably no one left that reads it or checks for updates! Hehehe
