     Have you ever listened to a song on the radio and you can't help but think that Heavenly Father is sharing a message with you through that song? Crazy right?  This morning I was driving somewhere and the song I Will Stand By You by Rascal Flatts  came on.  It hit me more than ever that Heavenly Father is with us.  He will help us through our challenges, and he loves us through our short comings. 

     I feel like today I needed to hear that song.  I was in the grocery store and I saw this mom playing with her little baby and I realized that more than anything in this world I want to be a mom.  Steven and I both decided that after we got married we wouldn't wait too long before we started to try to get pregnant. Well one year and three miscarriages later it hasn't happened.  I really have been fine through most of it and know that a lot of women have a hard time getting pregnant. I also realize I haven't been trying as long as a lot of them, but after that last miscarriage I went through almost a depression wondering when it was going to be my time.  Not long after that Steven got called into the bishopric which is so great, but takes up a lot of time.  Between school, work and this new calling I feel like I never get to see him, and this is a time in my life where I really depend on him to cheer me up and help me feel better.  I got to the point where I figured that even he didn't know what I'm going through.

     Through this trial I've finally come to realize that the Lord really does care so much about us.  We each have different trials that we have to go through, and this is one for me right now.  We all have no clue what other people are going through.  I've realized today, more than ever, that we just need to focus on the good in life.  Too often I find myself pointing out the things that are going wrong when I'm blessed with so many things.  So, take the time today to do something nice for someone else... we may not know what a little kindness can do to a person.
