"The heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who recognized that they were off course and who corrected their ways to get back in the light..." Dieter F. Uchtdorf. May 2010 be YOUR year.
I stole this from my good friend Molly's facebook status. It really struck a chord in me because during 2009 there were many instances where I felt a bit off course and, at times, it felt as if the adversary wanted me to wallow in my mistakes and make me believe that I, or things in life, would never improve. I am so grateful to acknowledge that he was ever so wrong.
This has been a harrowing year for so many in so many ways but, for me, I will never regret nor would I ever wish it was any different. The sheer process of harrowing uproots weeds, covers seeds with rich, life giving soil that is prepared to bring forth tremendous development. The joy that comes from learning and moving forward in the face of mistakes, extracting personal weeds and basking in the light that enables nothing but rich growth and goodness is bliss.
2009 was my year for much of this and my cup runneth over for those blessings and my Savior, Jesus Christ, with whom everything is possible.

LOVE that quote! I haven't heard that one that I recall. And your beautiful eloquent descriptive words touched me as usual. Thanks.
I love how you have documented your pregnancy with pictures at every few weeks. You look lovely! I never was good at doing that during the pregnancy. And yes, you CREATE the most beautiful girls. I will still adopt one... you just say the word (hee hee). Love you!
You are such an inspiration to me. Right now, many of the wounds of last year are too fresh for me and it's hard to not wish things could have been different. But reading this helps me remember that the things that we've learned through everything that's happened are priceless. The Lord has a plan for all of us. Thanks again for your words of wisdom.
Love you!
Just what I needed to hear.
