Faith

When I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis I talked to my mom and she said you should get a blessing. Then I was talking to Rich's mom about it and she said you should get a blessing. These two things made me think a lot about faith. Is it because of a lack of faith that I don't want to ask for the arthritis to be gone? I have thought about it alot and this is what I know. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us. He wants us to be happy, but he also knows that sometimes you have to endure trials. I know that we can ask in faith that we will understand our Father's will for us. I know that when times get hard and I am really hurting I can ask for strength and comfort to endure it. This is very comforting to me. Also, it is so nice to have my husband give me a blessing and know that he is the mouthpiece for Heavenly Father. I know that the blessing he gives me is what my Heavenly Father wants me to understand.

hey heather, i admire you for doing this...for taking the time to right down your testimony and share it with others. this past week was kinda tough for me with some issues about church and what others believe...anyway, the point is that it's always so nice to hear another's testimony and to be strengthened yourself. thanks.
