One of those days...

It's been one of those days where you know you're not totally on your own. With so much going on in the next few months, sometimes it feels like there's little that we have much control over...it's just coming and we'd better be ready for it. Christopher has been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety (sound like he's in medical school?). He studies so hard and that's pretty much ALL he does most days. Yet, at times, I know he feels like it's a waste when it comes to test result time. Today was no different, actually it might have been worse than usual. He's been studying for this class all week, nonstop, fasted and prayed. Yet after coming from the test, he felt sick. Part of the reason is because it's a very pivotal test for him. After studying day and night, he prayed for some divine inspiration, yet some questions he just couldn't be sure if they were right or not. He had such a long day and didn't find out how he did until late in the evening, after hearing about the unusually low class average. Needless to say, he panicked. Luckily, he did so much better than he expected. It's just one of those things that makes you sit back and realize how much we have to rely on the Lord. We do all that we can, the best we can, and look to Him for guidance. Both Christopher and I have been having one of those days where we KNOW the Lord is aware of our circumstances and has a plan for us. All today we've been aware of all of those little blessings you don't often think of: a very healthy, happy little girl; a relatively easy pregnancy thus far; good health; the ability to live off of little sleep (when necessary); a warm, comfortable home in a wonderful little community; the gospel; chances to play and relax; opportunities to progress and create a stable future; a loving, hard-working spouse; wonderful extended family; and the list goes on. This post is a little sappy but I just wanted to share that I know I am where I am in my life because of the blessings of a loving Father in Heaven. Those trials of faith can really be wonderful blessings.
