<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a fantastic Kamp theme.....our parents pick them every year...and every year they do NOT disappoint!! </span></div>

The world we live in can be a bit
harsh sometimes. We can experience deep heartache, broken dreams, powerless
feelings, addictions, failures, troubled times, emotional scars, and diseases
of all kinds. Our experiences can leave us physically wounded and emotionally disabled.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon doubt, despair and helplessness can
settle in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wonder why we are going through
these struggles in our lives. It is hard to find the answers we need to fix the
issues that are before us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through Energy
Healing and the different modalities offered, we can open a whole new way of
thinking, understanding, developing and becoming. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my life I have seen numerous healing methods
but none that stem from the heart until I was introduced to Energy Healing. Through
the use of Applied Kinesiology (aka. Muscle testing); we can discover the real source
of our issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Muscle testing can lead
us down the correct path in order for our bodies to heal. Tapping into our
sacred bodies is a divinely inspired gift that can help us restore balance;
receive harmony and awareness to our lives.<o:p></o:p></div>

When we understand that we are more
than a physical body; we are a spiritual, emotional, and mental body as well;
with a wonderful atmosphere around us (our aura), we can find the imbalances
that need shifting which can release the negative energy that is causing us
“physical symptoms.” That is why it is so important to get to the root cause of
our issues. If not, it just like putting a Band-Aid on the problem and no true
healing can occur.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: list .5in;">
We have been given a gift! Our
bodies know the exact order for us to heal. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can
have a happy life. We can live with intent. We can live with purpose! We can bring
much happiness, joy and peace to our lives as we follow the principles for true
healing, which stem from our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is our Ultimate Healer.
As we look to him in every word and thought, He will show us the path to true
happiness and abundance. <o:p></o:p></div>

There is a song in the LDS Hymn
book that brings clarity to my mind regarding the things I’m trying to
accomplish. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Savior, may I learn to love
thee, walk the path that thou hast shown, pause to help and lift another, finding
strength beyond my own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Savior, may I
learn to love thee, Lord, I would follow thee. Who am I to judge another when I
walk imperfectly? In the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can't see. Who
am I to judge another? Lord I would follow thee. (and now my favorite verse) …<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> I would be my brother's keeper;</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I would learn the <u>healer's art</u>.</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To the wounded and the weary</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I would show a gentle heart.</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I would be my brother's keeper—Lord, I
would follow thee. </b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Savior, may I
love my brother as I know thou lovest me, find in thee my strength, my beacon,
for thy servant I would be. Savior, may I love my brother? Lord, I would follow
thee.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: list .5in;">
I believe in the healer’s art! We
each have been given gifts to help other people heal. A mother’s touch, a
father’s kind words, or a friendly smile can make a difference that no one else
could do. In fact, James E. Faust has said, “ You can do something for another
person that no one else ever born can do. You can be powerful instruments in
the hands of God to bring about this great work. You are valued and needed!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: list .5in;">
I feel we are looking for the
cure; something that takes all our pain away. I wonder if we should be looking
to be healed. Made whole. Sometimes having the “symptoms” completely taken from
us isn’t the highest good for us at the time. But I feel as we come to
understand our Savior and how he heals, we will be made whole. Complete. His
healing is different from that of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What a beautiful journey it is! Are we willing to take that journey?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: list .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: list .5in;">
An incredible result that happens
when you are clearing negative energy is you become closer to your Savior. You
rid yourself from the bondage of issues that have been keeping you trapped and
heavy. By using Energy Healing you learn how to eliminate destructive patterns,
which in turn, strengthens and increases harmony within any relationship. It
truly strengthens family bonds and increases our ability to love and forgive
others and ourselves. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have noticed my
relationship with my husband has only improved. I didn’t think it could get any
better than it already was, but to see a transformation within myself and
within him, has brought our marriage to a wonderful new level. And the same
thing has happened with each of my children. It can truly strengthen family
bonds and increase our ability to love and forgive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, what a gift!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel in my heart that this is a sacred work and I feel
that we each have an individual calling from God. Whether you choose to be
involved in energy healing or not, each of us have a purpose to help and serve
the whole human family. <o:p></o:p></div>

her knees. That is where she learned how to use the tools she learned in class.
Christ is our best teacher and instructor. She has such a reverence for energy
work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She believes that muscle testing
is the communication of the spirit. Our spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we continue to learn that "language" it refines us to
understand the communication of our Father's Spirit. It is a vehicle to guide
us down a path of learning, of becoming and creating. Energy work is truly a
gift from our Heavenly Father and as we treat it with respect we will learn
beyond our expectations.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>JUST LET IT GO...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well.....I <b>chose</b> to feel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ANGRY</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>& ABANDONED</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">YUP...I'm gonna be my stubborn self and I can handle it right???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>WRONG!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I planted a little anger seed....and a little abandonment seed in my sweet little soul...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I watered the CRAP OUT OF THOSE SEEDS with self pity and entitlement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It didn't work out so well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt terrible....I let it fester....and there was no peace. It was so hard to think clearly because my little anger plant and my abandonment plant GREW BIG...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and it pretty much overtook me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I literally became physically sick!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And the saddest part? No one even knew about it BUT ME!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was the only one that was miserable!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's pretty sad stuff right there..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I decided that I had had enough....</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I prayed.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I asked for forgiveness.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>and I ripped those frickin plants out of my soul and burned them.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Lesson learned.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't plant seeds you don't want to grow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>BECAUSE WHATEVER SEED YOU PLANT WILL GROW.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I chose to plant a GRATEFUL seed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>HELLO to all my Friends!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to share with you a few thoughts that have been going through my head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>God is REAL and he loves us unconditionally.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think of how we love ourselves and we put conditions upon that love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>"If only if did that better..." </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>"I will like myself better if or when I lose these darn 15 pounds"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>"I am so stupid because I make too many mistakes."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Have you ever noticed that we live by lies?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Distorted and twisted lies? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Where is the truth?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have witnessed in my last 8 years of helping others that we all live by lies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is part of our existence here but </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>it doesn't have to define us.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We can find those lies, let them go and build upon truths that are <b>eternal truths</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are two wonderful articles that might open up your understanding of what I am talking about:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1- "Truth and Lies" by Jennifer Nucklos</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2- What Are You Believing That Isn't True" by Darla Isackson</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Google them and they will come right up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I believe that we are born with characteristics and attributes of God, our Eternal Father. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are his spirit children and thus, just like him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>That is our Spiritual DNA </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have also been born of goodly and not so goodly parents:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have <b>physical DNA</b> that has been passed down to us also.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Research has shown that not only are there physical attributes passed down but we have the emotional, spiritual and mental beliefs of our ancestors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They are tucked in there too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Our family stories are a part of us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>For example;</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Gramma Bertha and Grandpa John had a belief that their thoughts and feelings were not important. That what they thought didn't matter. They felt they had no voice.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>They passed down the DNA through the family line and now we are wondering why we feel terrified to voice our feelings to anyone because underneath the DNA belief, we have to please others and if we don't then we would be rejected. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Don't you think that is so interesting?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are not our own self.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are a combination of our family stories. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Including the Physical and Spiritual.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Isn't that incredible!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There is oppositions in all things! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now listen....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>We also have the good the Gramma Bertha and Grandpa John passed down. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>There strength! The love! Their devotion and loyalty! Their work ethic. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>We are privileged to come down to a world with imperfect parents and </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b> to fallen world to participate in a </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>PERFECT PLAN!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Weaknesses are given to us by our Savior Jesus Christ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(Ether 12:27, Book of Mormon)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are given such incredible weaknesses that when we apply the <b>Atonement of our Savior </b>we will be given<b> Grace.</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Grace we need to strengthen those weakness and become more like our Savior.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We also have within us wonderful <b>spiritual DNA</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let's seek for those divine gifts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lets look forward to what we can become each and every day and we progress forward and sometimes backward or sideways... but we are always learning, right!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the book,"The God Seed" by M. Catherine Thomas,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> a wonderful quote:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>"We can let the process of development unfold from within, opening ourselves to the spacious unknown, steering toward the Light, not having to know exactly where we are going, </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>but trusting that there is Someone who does know."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let us become <b>Truth Seekers.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Finding truth and allowing the Light to teach us more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We can become just like our Father in Heaven. We can progress and move with Him </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">throughout all eternity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As we learn where we have come from it can help us see where we are going.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let us rejoice in our infirmities! Let us be grateful for our DNA.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>We have a great gift.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let's work on ourselves and improve ourselves one day at a time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Isn't it great?!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I specifically loved part of each of their letters recently and wanted to share...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">From Sister Watts letter:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Your effort to try is what invokes [Christ's] grace and changes your
nature. But if Satan can make you think that no matter how hard you try,
you're not good enough- then you abandon the Savior. Your turn your
back on Him. Because you think he has turned His back on you. It is an
incredibly seditious doctrine and its not true. and you need to repent
of it. Its not true. So knock it off."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She said this came from President Porter about the doctrine of perfectionism..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>ISN'T THAT SO POWERFUL??</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think it hit home to me because I DO IT!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's so easy to doubt.....<br />I just love reading Mattie's letters... I literally learn something new from every single letter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">And from Elder Shoemaker:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>My little though for the week comes from Mark <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_832403005" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">8:34</span></span> and Matthew <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_832403006" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">16:24</span></span>.
It talks about taking up your cross and following "Him." In Mark we
read that and so as I read I was wondering, what is our cross?? So if
we jump over to Matthew we see in the JST that it is to deny all
ungodliness, every worldly lust, and keep the commandments. So I
challenge everyone to figure out what is holding them back, or in other
words, what is your favorite sin? <b>Get rid of it</b> and come unto Christ.
Instead of asking, "Lord, is it I?" ask, "Lord, is it this?" Is this
what I need to get rid of in my life to come closer? I know that as we
all strive to come closer to Christ he will bless us immensely in all
aspects of our life. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Isn't that a gem???</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">NO SUBSTITUTIONS</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Sandra Stallings Jenkins </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best part of coming home from school every day was finding my mom and giving her a hug. She was the center, the hub of our family, where things happened. Once I had checked in with her, I would fix a piece of home-made toast. Mom made four loaves of delicious bread every Saturday. I would slice through the golden buttery crust and slide the thick bread into the toaster. Meticulously, I'd spread the butter from edge to edge and then saturate it with honey. Watching Gilligan's Island and eating my toast was the perfect way to relax. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living on a farm, our lives were very scheduled and so were our meals. If it wasn't time to feed the animals, it was time to feed the family. Mom cooked three meals a day every day of her married life--and what a cook she was. She was determined that her girls would learn to cook while they were young, but I certainly proved a challenge for her. It wasn't that I was unwilling--I was just a slow learner. And lucky for me, I now have a bread mixer because kneading bread was something I never got the hang of. I would end up with big mittens of dough stuck on my hands instead of a nice smooth ball of dough. My mother would try to give constructive advice, but in the end, she would rescue the bread from me while I tried to get the mittens off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On dark winter nights, we'd make taffy, and Mom would always pull the biggest, hottest piece. Flaky pie crusts would surround fruity fillings for holiday treats, but the crown jewel of Mom's creations was a spice cake with brown sugar frosting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only special occasions would warrant the effort this cake took. Mom usually made this to celebrate their wedding anniversary because it was Dad's favorite cake. I think it seemed even more special because Dad would ration the pieces to make sure it lasted. Only on medium-sized piece was allowed, so it had to be savored.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I finally merited enough confidence in my mother's eyes, she would let me help with the cake and watch her her make the frosting. We would get the recipe out before going to the grocery store, which was half an hour away, and Mom would say, "See what we need to make the cake and the frosting because with this recipe, there are no substitutions!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Butter and heavy cream were the items she was talking about. In some recipes, you can cut down on the butter and use milk instead of cream, but with this frosting, it just wouldn't turn out. "It's not worth the bother of making if if you aren't going to make it right," she'd say. Once we were into the project and my interest and attention were waning, she would encourage me instead of let me go: "You've got to stay with it. You can't leave it once you've started." I often hear her voice of encouragement, as if she were sitting on my shoulder, coaching me to do my best. "Stay with it!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pretty much summed up her philosophy of life, too. Do it right the first time, stay with it, and no substitutions. <b>No substitutions for integrity, honesty, hard work, or devotion to family. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I learned my lesson about getting things right early on in my married life," she would say with a genuine shiver, bracing herself as if a cold bucket of water was about to hit her in the back. Only a time or two did she tell the story, but you could see the pain from the experience even years later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Your dad had farmed with his dad his whole life, but he wanted to start out on his own. We had saved a little money, all that we could, and we put all of into some registered Holstein cows. Just about everybody had a few cows but not registered Holsteins. They were expensive but good milk producers and not so much butter fat. We were on our own now, and your dad worked so hard," she recounted. "In our high mountain valley, fall came very early, with warm days and frost at night. There was something about the third crop of hay that always caused problems for the cows."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"If they ate too much third crop hay or we left them in the pasture too long, they could bloat up and die within a short amount of time, so we were always watching them closely, checking on them all the time. Well, of course, one of them bloated up," she said. "the remedy then was turpentine. Your dad got a halter on the cow and got her in the barn and told me to run to the shop and get the turpentine. He put a section of hose down the cow's throat and poured a small amount of turpentine in through a funnel. We stood back to wait for it to reduce the bloating and calm her down, but instead, a few minutes later, she keeled over dead."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"We were dumbfounded! What had gone wrong? Our precious cow! All the work and money we'd put into her was suddenly gone. Speechless, we looked at the can of turpentine, but it wasn't turpentine--it was paint thinner. In the shop with the paint cans and brushes, the turpentine and paint thinner looked the same. To a paint brush, it didn't matter whether we used paint thinner or turpentine, but to a cow this substitution was deadly."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"So remember to be careful and not settle for cheap substitutes in your life. In some places it won't make much difference, but you need to know when and where it will," she said quietly. "When it comes to how you live your life, don't cut corners. There's no substitute for hard work and integrity. Be the kind of person people can count on. If you say you're going to do something---do it and do it well."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you're like me you just need </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">something to grab and go....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Its hard enough to get out of bed at 4:30 am without stabbing someone... I don't wanna worry about breakfast!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Well...I FOUND SOMETHING!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Its so simple and fast... and it tastes amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">It has been a very spiritual journey and I have learned a lot.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="">I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for this experience and for the learning and growth needed for my personal and my families spiritual growth.! </span>We are all effected by each other and that is such a gift!</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">I want to bear witness to you of the tender mercies of Heavenly Father and the Savior and of the blessings of the Priesthood. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">It all started on Dec 22, 2014. I had my normal girly check-up and a mammogram. There looked like there was some suspicious tissue in my right breast and so they asked me to come back for a diagnostic mammogram. This is were the Doctor comes to evaluate every picture they take to see what the next step will be and if there needs to be a next step.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">As I walked out of the Dr's office, I asked Heavenly Father straight up… “Do I have cancer?” and His response was , “Do you trust me?” That was a very humbling question. I answered "Yes! I trust you,” and he said “Kim, I Love you.” I knew right then that everything was going be ok…. I felt it but I didn’t know at that time what Heavenly Father’s OK meant. Ok to Him and Ok to me can be two very different things. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="">After the first visit and before the diagnostic, I asked my husband, Darin and and son in law Brent to give me a Priesthood blessing. I will testify to you that EVERYTHING that was said in the blessing came true… even when it looked like it could go a different direction. I was little tearful but felt in my heart that everything was going to be ok. </span><span class="">That night as they gave the blessing, we recorded it. Which I am so grateful that we did. I listened to it multiple times. Three things that stood out and as I look back on the events that happened over the next 4 weeks… I could see the Hand of the Lord in my life completely. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">He told me what was going to happen. Exactly! I had faith Him and trusted… there was no reason to fear. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The first thing in the blessing that stood out was that I would have further tests. Second, that they would find out the cause and it would not be serious in nature, and third, that my body would heal itself. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="">Darin came with me to the diagnostic mammogram. I will also testify that the story in the Book of Mormon, the city of Helam, <b>where their burdens were made light but not taken from them</b>, that is truth! I felt it the whole 4 weeks. I felt my Savior carrying me and the family. I knew my daughter, Kell, was very concerned and I tried to have her feel the spirit and not to doubt. Mollie was handling everything pretty well. Kenzie was a mess until the blessing and then she felt it and knew I would be ok. </span>Brent was so sweet an always asked what he could do to help. Darin was very concerned but he knew in his heart that everything was going to work out. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">At the diagnostic, I took a book that I have been reading by Gerald Lund, <b>“The Kingdom and the Crown”</b> Series. It is about the Savior’s life, ministry, crucifixion and resurrection. It is one of the most powerful books that I have read. Thank you Gerald Lund!</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">As I was called back to have the pictures taken, I had complete faith that everything was going turn out ok. They kept taking picture after picture to try to determine the suspicious tissue. As I sat there and waited for the Dr to discuss and look over the pictures, I read while Darin waited out in the lobby. It took quite a while and I was worried that he was going to be worried. Which he was …it was about 2 hours….</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">I was reading in the book the story of where Christ cursed a fig tree. He was walking with his disciples to Jerusalem for passover. On the next day, Christ and his disciples walked past the fig tree again. They saw that it was completely dead. That it had fallen and the roots and everything the tree was completely dead. They were all astonished because it was a healthy tree just yesterday. Even if the tree had a disease it would take longer than 24 hours for it to die… Then he quoted the scripture , <i>“Truly I say unto you, if you have faith, and doubt not in your heart, and believe those things which you say shall come to pass, you shall not only do this which is done to this fig tree, but also if you should say unto this mountain, “Be thou removed, and be thou cast in to the sea” , behold it too shall be done. Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you shall receive them, and you shall receive.” </i></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">This story hit me very hard. My heart was pounding and I couldn’t read more of the story. I sat there talking and conversing with Heavenly Father. I asked Him if it be thy will can these suspicious tissues be removed form my breast? and He said to me, ‘Kim, what if I had told you that you had cancer. What would you have done?” I told Him that I would have gone to Him. That I would not become bitter… I would become better. I would learn from Him and what He wanted me to do with this diagnosis. Then He said, “All is Well.’</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">At the end of the pictures the Dr wanted to meet with me and he told me that what he was seeing was either the beginning of breast cancer or it was just benign tissue. He said that it wouldn’t take my life and that it could be handled very easily. I would need to have a biopsy first, and if needed, surgery, to remove the tissue. I was not in too much shock because the words of the blessing came back, “I would need further tests”….. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The Dr sent me to meet with nurse that would then set up the biopsy. Darin was with me at this time. I was holding it together pretty well, but lost it….. started crying in the office…. I was trying to feel the spirit but my emotions over came me. I actually thought all of those women who are told that they have cancer. I couldn't imagine their pain, fear, and all the questions that must be running through their minds. My heart ached for them. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The biopsy was scheduled on Jan 8. We went home to tell the family. I cried for 2 days but it was an interesting experience. I felt like my spirit was at complete peace…while my physical body had to go through emotions. I knew what was happening and felt comfort through the Holy Ghost just to allow myself to feel what I needed to feel. ….. so I cried and let it all out. I was never angry or mad about it… in fact just the opposite. I had gratitude and I loved my Heavenly Father and knew He was with me. It only lasted 2 days and then I was back to being fine.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">Right before the biopsy I didn’t know what to expect so I had Darin give me another Priesthood blessing of comfort. I was grateful for it and the blessing said that everything would go well and no problems. We had to be to the hospital at 12:45. I was nervous. I could literally feel angels around me. I knew they were there. Every time I asked, Heavenly Father are you here? Is the Savior here? Are angels here? I could feel it. I knew it. </span></span><br />

</div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The nurse came and escorted me back and Darin stayed out and waited for me. The whole thing took about 2 1/2 hours. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">They lay you on a table on your stomach. There is a hole in the middle of the table for your breast to fall through. You cannot move or breath deeply. It will move you out of position and then they would take the wrong tissue to test. You have to be perfectly still. I laid there nervous and trying to calm myself down, I prayed SO HARD!! Help me to stay still. Help me to stay still and be calm. Please help calm my breathing. I pictured myself on a beach in Hawaii at sunset. They also had soft music playing to help me calm down. And I talked with Heavenly Father the whole time. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">As the procedure began, they numbed my breast and then they began to take tissue samples. I could hear a drill sounding thing. It was extremely nervous. My nurse was so so helpful as she held my hand. I needed to feel someone there. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The last sample they took, I felt a pull from down my armpit and it hurt. I bled a little more than normal so they didn’t take any more pictures after the surgery because that can increase your bleeding and they didn’t want me to bleed more. After it was over I still had to lay there while they compressed the wound. After 30 minutes of compression, they turned me over and glued my wound shut and put lots of tape and gauze over the area.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">I was emotional. It was very traumatic but I felt help from God. I laid there and thought of all my blessings. I gave gratitude to God and continued to praise his name. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">They fixed me up and helped me get dressed and took me out to Darin. When I got the car…. I was in a lot pain…. and I cried all the way home... hard.... but good. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">In the second blessing HF told me that I would know why I was going through this and that it was important. As I laid on the table, I was told why. My Baptismal covenants. <b>To mourn with those that mourn and to comfort those who stand in need of comfort, and to witness of God at all times, and in all things and in all places even until death.</b> It was very powerful. I cried. I could literally <u class="">feel the truth</u> of why I needed to experience the pain. I felt it and I will not doubt it! I knew it with every fiber of my being!</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">Monday morning Jan 12th, I received the call that everything was normal. It was benign fibrous tissues.:):) <span style="font-size: x-large;">WHAT A DAY!!!</span> It happened just as the Lord said it would - Further tests but nothing serious!</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">It has taken over a full week if not longer to heal. I am still a little sore. If you think of the muscles that are attached to your chest… basically your whole arm movement is restricted. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">I had to go back into the hospital to take those pictures that they couldn’t take after the procedure. They put a piece of titanium in the spot where the biopsy was performed so that when I have further mammograms that it will show where that biopsy was. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">They needed to take pictures to make sure the titanium was in the correct spot. I went back last Thursday. As they compressed my breast to take the picture it stared to bleed. The nurse was very concerned. She went to get the Doctor and I was crying again. There was so much emotion that came to me when I walked into the hospital and then this happened. I was trying so hard to gain my composure. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">The Dr looked at my wound and tried to decide what to do… I thought this was so interesting. He said, “I need to think..” and he closed his eyes and started to pray. He didn’t say anything out loud or fold his arms…but I knew in my heart what he was doing. I began to pray. </span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">He was thinking of taking all of the dressing off … all the glue and tape and stuff. I just was begging Heavenly Father, PLEASE NO!!! I prayed hard for him to receive what was for the highest good for my body. They were afraid of blood clots, infections, etc. After he opened his eyes, he said, “We are going to leave you alone.” and then the words from the blessing came to my mind, “Your body will heal itself.” AGAIN!!! a promised blessing! I am so grateful to the Lord and his tender mercies. He blesses us everyday! We are truly watched over.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">I felt so strongly that what ever happened - cancer or no cancer- I was in the hands of my loving Heavenly Father. He was watching over me.</span></span></div>
<div class="">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: large;">God loves us and has given the way for us to truly be happy! The Gospel of Jesus Christ! I believe it with my whole heart! I know God Lives! I know Jesus is the Christ! I know it!! I cannot or will ever deny it!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">yo #3 here....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had a couple of those weeks where you just wonder </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>WHAT THE CRAP AM I DOING?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>WHY CAN'T I GET MY $#!* TOGETHER??</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was being abusive.... to myself... and i needed to QUIT IT!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why are we so hard on ourselves? I would never talk to a stranger or loved one like I was talking to myself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did a lot of soul searching during the last 2 weeks... I was stuck at home sick with pneumonia....it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me being in that destructive bully state of mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>FORCING</b> myself to be thankful for every strained breath I was taking. <b>MAKING</b> myself see how blessed I am for so many good friends, neighbors and family members that came to help me without my asking for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>BEGGING</b> in my prayers to feel better and asking God to heal my body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was during this time that I would ask myself....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">What is my job here? What the crap is my purpose?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I don't know if I found the answer exactly...but I know that <b>I DID </b>find out what is <b>NOT</b> <b>my job...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>It's not my job to beat myself up...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>It's not my job to be perfect...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>It's not my job to judge others...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>It is not my job to be a self pity queen...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>I was not put on this earth for that...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I was not put on this earth for worrying about having a "thigh gap" and "flat abs"...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I was not put on this earth to keep wrinkles off my face....</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I was not put on this earth to come up with the best pinterest worthy dinners...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I was not put on this earth for the "cleanest house" competition....</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I know...is that I just wanna be around people that love me....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Around my family....my sisters....my parents...my children...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanna do good things....and be a good person....and lift others.....<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SHINE LIGHT. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>So I say to myself....</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>"I'M SORRY for being mean"</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>and MOVE ON....</b></span></div>

Boy have I learned my lesson about this lately. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">AND I choose to make myself</span> <span style="font-size: large;">STRONG!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We can worry ourselves to death about stuff we have no control over......</div>
<div align="center">
or we can accept it, move forward, and look at things a little differently.</div>
<div align="center">
A little more positive. </div>
<div align="center">
