Yesterday during testimony meeting, a lady bore her testimony about blessings. She said that if we do what we are supposed to, then we will be blessed. That alone would annoy me, but then she said something that I think we often forget. That even though we receive blessings, they aren't always the blessings we want.Daniel and I have been trying to start our family for over 5 years now. We have tried everything, and doctors don't know why nothing is working. We have prayed every day for a child, gone to the temple, pleaded and begged, and even tried negotiating. It's really frustrating, because we know that the Lord has the power to make our dreams come true, and yet here we are. I know He has a plan for us, but I sometimes wish He would share with us what that plan is. It's really hard sometimes to remember that even though we haven't been blessed with a child, we have still been blessed in many other ways.
I have been blessed with:
- an amazing husband who loves me
- a safe home, with food in the fridge
- a job that I actually enjoy
- a wonderful family-in-law
- a testimony of the gospel

Belinda,
You are braver than me because I don't go to testimony meetings anymore because of some remarks that are made and the babies being blessed. Thank you for sharing. I need to remember all that I have been given and not to think constantly of what is missing. I just wish infertility wasn't so hard.
I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your site and seeing how you and Daniel are doing. Thanks for sharing. You are both loved by so many.
This is something we all need to be reminded of, no matter what it is we feel we are missing. Thanks Belinda.
