I was thinking the other day…which I must say happens a lot:) my mind never quite shuts off, which can both be a blessing and a curse, but that's besides the point. Well as I was thinking I was a little disappointed…things haven't been quite going the way I would have envisioned. I've been struggling with some things that I feel I can't really talk to anyone about, stressing about how to pay for my education (student loans here I come), and dealing with feelings of inadequacy and just not feeling like people enjoy me being around…sooooo you might be asking well Kayla, why is this post called "So Blessed?" And truthfully it came in an unexpected way…
I was reading my Patriarchal Blessing, which if you click on those words you'll be able to know what it is rather than me butchering it:) and I was just overcome with such a sense of peace and comfort. I've felt those feelings before but never quite the way I did that night. I knew that the feelings I was feeling, and the stress that I was having was going to be okay, and I was going to get through this semi rough spot, because I have a Heavenly Father who loves me more than I can imagine, and I know that he knows me and understands my struggles and it hurts Him to see me going through them, but I know that I need to go through them in order to become who I am supposed to be. It was very much like I was seeing things from an outsiders perspective rather than being so caught up in "Kayla's world." I must admit while this was happening I was bawling my eyes out like a baby, but thats okay. Sometimes the best healing comes from crying:) But anyways I was just overcome with such a sense of gratitude for the knowledge I have of the Gospel and how much of a blessing it has been in my mostly crazy, hectic life.
What are some things that you feel 'So Blessed' to have in your life?
And remember enjoy the Kakes, even if the recipe doesn't produce what you thought it would:)
