As I look back on the last couple of weeks of things that have happened not necessarily in our lives but in lives of people we care about. We have felt sadness, despair, anger, but thorough this we have grown closer to each other and especially to the Lord. I have had more of a renewed determination to do what is right, do better scripture study, have more meaningful prayers, but mostly to strengthen our family. I have seen Satan destroying families all over the world, and it makes me sad to see it. On one particular day I was really struggling with some bad news and I was angry. I was also so sad inside. As I was driving to the gym, I was thinking about how when Christ was in Gethsemane he was in so much pain for each one of us. And here I was feeling so much pain for people we care so much about. What I felt was so little compared to what Christ felt. But I still felt it and it made me have more love for my Savior, that he would be willing to go through so much pain for each one of us. I usually don't do a soap box on my blog, but I wanted everyone to know that I know that families can be together forever, and it is not a matter of if Satan will tempt us or those we love it if a matter of when he will and everyone that reads my blog are my friends and family who I care deeply about and I can't stand to see Satan win anymore. So as of now I will be trying harder to protect my family so we can be together forever. I know this church is true!!! I have a testimony in Joseph Smith, I can't believe that at a young age of 14 he wanted to find the true church, I know that Christ loves me, I know that we are only given trials that we are able to handle, those trials help us become better people. I know that families can be together forever, and I want that more than anything. I am sure everyone else does to. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life, it makes me who I am and it makes me want to be a better person. Stay strong!! Love Michie
