What does your faith look like?

Today our Relief Society lesson was on Faith. I've had more lessons on this topic than I can even count, having grown up in the church, but I must say that today's lesson moved me to tears. Not only were the teacher's stories touching, but the message she taught was powerful. It really made me think about my own faith and what I've been going through (not just with the PCOS thing, but some big decisions I'm going to need to make very soon regarding my education). So now I'm asking, what does your seed of faith look like? Do you still need to plant it? Has it just barely begun to sprout? Have you spent time nurturing it and begun to "branch" out? Are you a big, beautiful, healthy plant serving as an example for other little seeds to grow? :)

Following Up With Gratitude

I mentioned in the beginning of my last post that I had been debating about whether or not to post it, and that was due in large part to my hesitancy (is that a real word?) in sharing with the world my personal problem that Josh and I (because he is such a huge support) are dealing with.

A lot of my questions have been answered in the past couple of days, but I still have questions. I'm hoping to see an Endocrinologist (someone who specializes in hormone disorders) so

Learning to Let Go

The title of this post may seem dismal. But read on, and you will understand what it means. I've debated for a little while now about making this blog post. To some who are unable to relate, it may not be a big deal. But for me, it is a very big deal. So I guess I'll start off with a little background information. June 2011 - Josh and I get married! Yay! Happiest time of our lives. Hands down. We are as happy as could be and the happiness and love just keeps growing. I am truly grateful for that. He is truly my best, best friend and everything I need and want. I'm not just saying that either. I'm humbled to think that Heavenly Father would see it fit to have me experience such happiness in marriage, and for that I am also truly grateful. Josh and I talked about when we wanted to start our family from the beginning of our engagement. We were both concerned because A) I had 2 years and Josh had 3 years of schooling (undergrad) left and B) We both had no mon
