Something to Remember

Dear Baby Girl,

I want you to remember something very important as you grow up. Always have Faith. This may be the hardest thing to do at times, but I promise you will make it through anything as long as you have faith.

We are currently in a "rough spot" in our life. We are basically being kicking out of our home. Yes, that's right, at 5 months pregnant we need to pack up all of our things and move. That is exactly what I wanted to do right now. NOT. So we were in a bit of a panic, not knowing where we were going to move. How we were going to afford rent, let alone anything to furnish it, and how we would be able to prepare for your arrival.

Needless to say, your very hormonal mother shed a few tears while trying to figure this all out. Not to mention, your Dad takes his finals this week and the MCATS on Saturday, so this was just the perfect addition of stress for him as well.

This is were faith comes in. We are living righteously, paying our tithing and doing all that we can to be good members of the church. We had to rely on Heavenly Father that this was all part of his plan. This was a trial we had to go through and there was a reason for it. We are strong enough to overcome it. He would never leave us on the streets with a newborn and nothing to eat. So as the days passed and we tried to figure out what we can do, things started to come together. We realized that though we may not want to leave this huge house, it is not really the best environment to raise a child in. There are also several other factors that make this move the best thing for us. We don't know how we will afford rent because on paper, we do not make enough. The summer is the lowest financial time for our family because of the lack of work. This will all somehow work out. I have faith that Heavenly Father knows me and our situation. We will always be taken care of. He will never let his children be alone. We may not have money for a fancy new car or the top of the line stuff. But we will always have food on the table and a place to lay our heads.

Now, please understand this rational level of thinking was honestly not the first thing that came to my mind. I am human. Usually when crisis happens, you cry and think "why me?" Know that any trial you are given, it is because Heavenly Father KNOWS you are strong enough to  handle it and He will not leave your side.  We have now found a place to live and are trying to piece together a few items to that it will be livable. No, its not beautiful and perfect but it is our home. It is filled with our family, lots of love and the gospel and if you have those three things, you will never feel like you don't have enough.

Love,
Mom
