“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will FEAR NO EVIL: for thou art WITH ME; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Psalm 23:4-6

The Gospel has helped me in so many ways. I used to just want to go hide somewhere whenever something was bothering me or just want to not do anything even though I might of had a full day planned out… I would just say forget it but I am so much STRONGER NOW. I fight off these urges to just give up when times get tough or I’m feeling overwhelmed. Good thing I’m stubborn huh? I’m thankful for everything I have come to know about how I can live a righteous life. I KNOW I will be with my family for all eternity If I will keep my covenants I have made with my Heavenly Father. I KNOW I can overcome anything this life throws at me. I KNOW that I AM STRONG. As there is darkness, there is ALWAYS LIGHT.

Today was alright. This morning while Brad mowed the yard, I took Katie in the stroller with me while I walked and the clouds were beautiful and there was a nice breeze again. We loaded up this afternoon and went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Katie has been TERRIBLE WITH POTTY TRAINING TODAY. She fussed, cried and protested every time I tried to get her to go and then she pooped in her pull-up this evening after I had made her sit for a LONG WHILE earlier so guess what? I made her sit on the potty from 7:30PM-8:00PM. She was straining earlier so I put her on the potty and NOTHING even though I had her sit there for like 20 minutes? Raaaaaaaah. Yea, my patience? Being tested to the max but I must hold strong. *DEEP BREATH IN*… *deep breath out*

Ever so strong I WILL HOLD. I WILL, I WILL.
