guaranteed happiness.

A couple years ago my parents would go to the temple every Saturday morning. Before I was married and all, I was truly a.....Damsel in distress is what I like to think. My mom says I was more of a headache! But every Saturday morning my mom would come annoyingly knock on my door, KNOWING that I was still trying to recover from the night before and yell these exact words in the most highest, sweetly annoying voice, "LINE, I WROTE YOUR NAME ON THE PRAYER ROLL TODAY," and she would keep saying that until I grunted or did a fart sound to know that I heard her. At the time, I didn't care. Even if I had known what a "prayer roll" was at that time, it wouldn't mean much.

But after going through everything up to this point, I am thankful she did write my name, more so knock at my door every Saturday to tell me she did. Because I lacked faith, and motivation to come back to church, someone didn't lack their faith in me, or motivation to get up daily to pray for me. At that time in my life where I was about to drown myself in the world for good, a simple prayer saved me, and brought me back to where I needed to be. It may have taken me to get married early and bare a child while being so young and naïve, but it also has brought me back to a better state in my life, and has kept me from ever falling into the world again.

I know this story was not something that could win the Nobel prize, or be another twilight saga, but it means so much to me. Just a simple thing that was done every Saturday, turned out to be one of the many greatest blessing that I have received. The power of prayer is truly something we all need. Whether you're simply praying for comfort for yourself, or for others. Silently in your heart, or fully on your knees. IT WORKS. Although it may seem like they may not be answered as quickly as you want them to, they will be.

I am a miracle from prayer, so is my son, and so is this marriage. Without the power of prayer, we would've had no guidance, and probably not even stand as strong as we are today. Conversing with the lord daily has been the best guidance in my life. Being a mother and a wife is often hard to try to keep cool, calm, and collective, and at most times, stressful. But it keeps me sane through the hectic days, and the dramatic nights. It gives me comfort knowing that someone does hear and understand me, and I think that for a women, that's what we need and are looking for daily.

That's my blog for today, just thought I'd shed a little light on a weary night. Xo.
