I'm turning into my Dad! (the crying part)

***WARNING*** Sappy conent follows: (not normally something i would blog about, but I can't not this time)

It's not a bad thing, I guess. Today we were able to attend Harper's blessing. Chris, her dad, did an awesome job and I wish I could give him credit for sending me into tears, but it wasn't that. I'd been having a bad day/week and was feeling pretty sorry for myself. I have often caught myself thinking "how much longer do I have to do this? Isn't this enough?" Then we sang "Behold the Great Redeemer Die" and as we sang "Father, from me romove this cup. Yet if thou wilt, I'll drink it up." I was just short of sobbing as I was struck by those words. What a profound sacrifice our Savior mad for us. He was ready to be done, but was so humble and selfless that he would continue on in pain and suffering if it was what his Father asked. How silly do I feel? Really? My self titled "struggles" are NOTHING compared to what our Savior went through. I know I am faced with certain challenges because there is something I need to learn. So, I will go forward with new resolve to keep a better perspective on the "hardships" I feel. As my sister Bekka bore testimony, we may not get answers to prayers the way we want or expect. We may face trials longer than we think necessary. We may also feel like we can't take more than we've already taken on....but our Heavenly Father uses trials to better us and make us stronger. I am so greatful for the many things I am blessed with. I love you Bekka and your awesome testimony. I needed to hear it!
