This past week was full of storms and because of that I had plenty of flares! On Tuesday I started to prepare my young women's lesson and felt strongly to have the girls teach and share the majority of the lesson. It was a very good thing I did because, by the time Sunday came around, I was in a great deal of pain and was not sure I would even make it to church!
However, my faith was strengthened as I trusted in the Lord as I was going to teach no matter what. I knew I had to do three things today. 1. Teach my lesson, 2. Have dinner as a family, and 3. Visit my grandma in the care center as family. My kids could see how much pain I was in and took me home to rest after the first meeting. The did not want me going back to teach young women's but I told them I would be okay. I then trusted in the Lord and allowed him to strengthen me and give me the energy to overcome the pain I was experiencing in order for me to go and teach.
As I was about to teach my class I felt such an overwhelming gratitude for the atonement and the blessing it has been in my life. I felt strengthened and felt my pain lift as I began my lesson. I was overcome with the spirit as I shared my testimony with the young women. The lesson was on the atonement and the girls also shared their experiences.
How grateful I am that we were all spiritually uplifted today by the abundance of the spirt and for the Savior and his atonement. I am grateful to be able to witness this firsthand and then be able to teach and share my testimony with others.
I know the Savior had to suffer all alone so that we would not have to suffer ourselves as we struggle with our challenges in this life! I know that Savior did this for each one of us and for that I am eternally grateful!
