A wonderful person sent this to me as a reminder of what I am blessed with. I know that many have endured so much more than I have or every will, and for that reason I feel guilty for feeling so unhappy and challenged with my minor trial. But, still the same, I DO struggle and I need to know that "I am NOT my body" and that I am of worth. The hard part will be believing that ALL of the time. My relationship with my Heavenly Father is certain to grow as I need his guidance and I pray that he will help me see that this too shall pass.

That was a wonderful blog, we can
always see someone who has it worse
than ourselves. I know at the time
our trial is all we can think of
and that is natural because we are
dealing with our own trial and it
hits closer to our own feelings of
selfworth, but like your title
says, I am not my body. Sometimes
people have a flawless body but not
a happy soul, and they find they
are lonely because their outlook
is only on the outward beauty. You
always look for the beauty that lies within. Some lessons need a
trial to bring us back to what is
important and be an example to
others how we handle our personal
trials. You were truly blessed,
because it could have been so much
worse. Thank your Heavenly Father
that you are alive and are with
your sweet family for always. Time
is a great healer. I love you and
pray you will return quickly to
your healthy life.
Love you always and forever,
Mom
That was a beautiful song and it certianly gives us all a different perspective. You had me in tears this morning! Great post!
I loved this song and the words, which I only partly heard and understood at first listening. We do need to look at things from an eternal perspective. Pain and suffering are apart of this life. Sometimes the pains are seen and sometime unseen. It is in our attitude that our true inner strength and beauty are shown. Talk about a Beautiful Heartbreak, just remember the pain our Father in Heaven flet when He saw His Son bruised and bleeding, not because he forgot to wear his helmet, but because all of us, so to speak, forgot to wear ours. Out of that pain came the greatest blessing possible for all of us who will accept it, Immortality and Eternal Life.
One thing I know for sure, You are beautiful inside and out. We count our blessings to have you in our lives to love forever.
Beautiful Heartbreak
I had it all mapped out in front of me,
Knew just where I wanted to go;
But life decided to change my plans,
And I found a mountain in the middle of my road.
I knew there was no way over it,
So I searched for a way around;
Brokenhearted I started climbin',
And at the top I found...
Every fear, every doubt,
All the pain I went through;
Was the price that I paid to see this view;
And now that I'm here I would never trade...
The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights;
I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.
I never dreamed my heart would make it,
I thought about turning around;
But heaven has shown me miracles,
I never would have seen from the ground.
Now I take the rain with the sunshine,
Cause there's one thing that I know;
He picks up the pieces,
Along each broken road.
Every fear, every doubt,
All the pain I went through;
Was the price that I paid to see this view;
And now that I'm here I would never trade...
The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights.
I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.
I would never trade...
The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights.
I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak
Sometimes our weakness and pains become our strengths, Likewise sometimes our strengths can become our weaknesses.
We will always love you no matter what and pray that we can all learn from your experience. There is so much to be grateful for.
Love you forever,
Dad
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
So happy that you are all right, and your children can see that you are healing. Scars are just evidence that some trauma has occurred in the past, but is now healed. Even our beloved Brother, Jesus, chose to keep the nail scars in His palms. You are loved for you, all of you, and you could never be anything less than beautiful!
Love this song! While I was in the Young Women, we had the opportunity to have Hilary Weeks sing/speak to our Young Women as well as the amazing sister in her video. Jason and I actually drove that sister back and forth from SLC and had the opportunity to get to know her. She is truly an inspiration.
Love you Alison,
