He is in the details

God is constantly in the very details of our lives. This is what I remind myself of often. Especially when I begin to question why certain things have happened to me or when I doubt my capabilities. I am always grateful for those tender mercies I receive from Heaven that make it known to me that there is a God who is looking out for me, that loves me and cares for me and my family. Every person wants to feel that what they have to say is important and that they matter. I thank my Father in Heaven for always being there for me. I know that I am not perfect, but yet He is still patient with me. I want to do good, I want to glorify Him and please Him and do His will.

I believe everyone has their "own cross to carry" in this life, those would be our challenges and stuggles. I must admit that once I conquer a challenge or overcome a habit, I get to struggle with something new, but I am grateful for this process. We are here on this earth to become, we're all learning from one another. The most beautiful part is that we all get to choose how we respond to what happens to us. I have learned to set my expectations realistically because all frustration stems from unmet expectations. So, what can I expect? I can only expect to count on my own actions and no one else's to be happy.  Since we are all not perfect, all of us will make mistakes. That is where we need to forgive one another, because we are all teaching one another every day.

Being divorced is difficult. Sometimes I wonder if this was a pre-destined path for me before I came to earth. I don't ask the question, "why", because I know that I am here to gain experience and learn. I know for a fact that I see God in my life every day and in the lives of my children. He hears my prayers and He raises me up. He created me and He will always be able to make me whole. I am so grateful for all that He has taught me and what He will continue to teach me. One of my favorite quotes from President Gordon B. Hinckley is, "Isn't it wonderful"? Yes, this life experience is wonderful :)
