Life is hard. for EVERYONE.
I have the strongest testimony of the priesthood.
I never liked blessings because it always frustrated me that i couldn't have my father give me one. He isn't here to do it.
I understand now, he is still using his priesthood.
In a time i was in desperate need of a "pick-me-up".
The man I truly believe was called upon to take my fathers place when he passed away, was in St George for a marathon, and he gave me a blessing.
I know he has so much love for me .
I can feel it through his hands on my head, the hugs, and the tears we shared.
Its confusing sometimes.
I think i forgot what its like to be loved by a father. Its a feeling you honestly will never know until its gone. But this weekend i was able to feel that,
It was indescribable.
I'm so thankful i have the lord working with me and that i can ask for a blessing and receive it. THE GOSPEL IS TRUE.
I have a father on the other side protecting me and strengthening me.
And i have so many father figures on this side doing the same.

One of my favorite quotes
"Sometimes life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain"
Wow, thank to so much for sharing part of your soul here. Of course I don't know you and I don't know the story about your father, but I am sincerely sorry. I didn't grow up with the priesthood in my home. My father is not a memeber of the church and that has always been a source of pain, although he is a great man. But since I have been married I have felt the live or the Lord so much because if the priesthoo my husband holds. I am so thankful for the priesthood too and how it has blessed my life as I am sure it has blessed yours. I'm glad I four your blog!
