I know I have already posted once today but this blog is for me more than anything and I have something that I want to say.
I have spent the past few weeks EXTREMELY emotional...and I haven't been able to completely figure out why. And it has been troubling, being so emotional for reasons that I can't explain. I'm talking about crying when I feel the spirit and when a song comes on the radio or when watching a movie/tv show that let's be honest isn't really all that sad. And again today it happened twice...I received a letter from my cousin who just recently entered the MTC and as I read the incredible words that he wrote, words I know he wrote because he was guided by the spirit, tears streamed down my face. Then later tonight I received a message on facebook from a friend's mom. My friend and I aren't even very close and his mom and I aren't even facebook friends, but she took the time to send me a message and see how things were going, and the words she said touched my heart. And I realized right then as I was tearing up, that the emotions I have been feeling have been the Lord and my Father in Heaven reaching out to me, and reminding me of how much I am loved. I am so grateful for that, and I feel so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, and to have a Savior, and a Father in Heaven who love me SO MUCH and know me SO WELL that they know when I need a little boost, or a reminder of their unconditional love. And so I go to sleep tonight feeling overwhelmed with the spirit, truly truly grateful.
