Patience

since yesterday was all about me whining and complaining i figured i should write this, especially after i saw a post on facebook that my sister-in-law posted. honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if this post was meant for me. it definitely wouldn't be the first time this has happened. for those of that you that read my blog during rey's last deployment i posted a story about this guy who's car broke down and how he just had to trust in the Lord and keep going.. well, i was having a hard time at that point and just after praying my sister-in-law had posted that on facebook and that one thing seriously helped me so many times through that deployment. a few months later i told my sister in law how that had left a huge impact on me and she told me she just had a feeling she should post it, and she actually posts a lot of church related stuff.. well, last night she posted this..

‎"Perhaps there are those who demand rather than request.There may be those who pray for certain blessings without any questions in their minds as to the value of those things to them. Perhaps they are disappointed and even shaken in their faith if their prayer is not granted.Remember that our prayers are often as inconsistent and inappropriate to our Father in Heaven as are the demands of our little children upon us. What earthly parent would give a little one a bottle of poison with which to play, even though the child might ask and demand and cry for it? . . . And yet we sometimes ask for just such impossible things, just such dangerous things, and the Lord in his mercy withholds them. Let us pray with the attitude always of the crucified One, 'nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.' (Luke 22:42)" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 123).

last night when i read that it hit me super super hard! as a lot of you have been able to see rey and i really want a baby and that has been in our prayers.. and every month when we find out another month has gone by without us getting pregnant we do remember that it will happen in Heavenly Father's time.. but it's still pretty hard. i dunno, this was just another good reminder that it will happen when it's supposed to!

well, that is all.. just thought i should share that with you since i was such a little whiner yesterday!!

peace in the middle east,
