I have done hard things and I can do hard things, but I don't have to do it alone.

This last week (last Sunday and Tuesday) were super special days for me. They were very unexpected, but very needed and I feel that they were a direct answer to my prayers.  I am so grateful for people who listen to the promptings of the spirit and act upon those promptings. I am so grateful for the leaders in my ward and stake that serve me and love me. I am thankful for others in my ward and stake who love, support and pray for me. I have seen and experienced the blessings of a ward and stake family.  On Sunday the Stake President spoke at our Ward Conference.  He said he was very prompted to speak about certain things.  Those certain things were directly related to what me and some of the other women in our ward are experiencing and challenged with.  It related to my current situation. It gave me courage and hope.  Hope for a new beginning and hope for a future. Hope for what may be in the future and in the life after. I cried through the whole talk. I felt like the Stake President was talking directly to me.  It was a direct answer to my prayers. 

Last week the High Priest Group Leader in my ward called to see if they could come and visit me for Ward Conference visits. Of course I said yes. They came on Tuesday after Ward Conference and after Stake President's talk. I always appreciate the priesthood and good men in my home.  When I answered the door it was a the HPGL and the Stake President.  I wanted to hear more from President when he spoke. I wanted to ask questions. I wanted to tell him thanks. I wanted to hear his counsel and his advice. I wanted to ask more questions. I wanted to feel his love and spirit.  I couldn't believe that I was able to do what I wanted and in the comforts of my own home.  Here these amazing Priesthood holders were in my home to visit with me and just me. They felt prompted to come. They felt inspired. They followed their prompting and because they did they answered my prayer specifically.  I of course cried. I cried because I am sad. I cried because I hurt, I cried because I was happy they listened to the spirit, I cried because I was so happy to have the Priesthood in my home, I cried that I was able to ask all the questions I wanted to after his talk.  I cried because I felt the spirit sooo strong, I cried because my prayers had been answered. They had been answered in such a way that I can't even comprehend.  I know that my Heavenly Father knew what I needed this week.   He knew what was ahead of me and he knew I needed direct help. 

I want to listen and follow the promptings I receive.  I want to bless the lives of others and I know that I can if I am worthy to hear those promptings.  I have learned so much lately. 

I can do hard things, but I don't have to do them alone!  Thank you to everyone for your love!
