Blessings

I love photography and looking at pictures, even of strangers I don't even know. I can just appreciate a good, well taken picture. On Saturday, a friend helped me to have some stunning pictures of my kids, by using his amazing camera and skill. The black and white ones are the result of Ben and I playing with the contrast and color, but we would never have had such beautiful pictures if the originals weren't as amazing as they were. Thanks again Cameron!

I also wanted to share my testimony on this post. This month, The Ensign has an article by M Russell Ballard about sharing and spreading the gospel through "new media". This is my chance to share my testimony of my Savior and publicly express my gratitude for all of the amazing blessings I have in my life. I know the Lord has blessed me even with all the challenges I've had in my life. Those challenges were a part of my plan and I eagerly agreed to them in order to come to this world. I often get frustrated with the happenings of my life but I know I am being watched and cared for by my loving Heavenly Father. He knows me and my heartache and only wants me to be happy. I am so grateful for this gospel and knowledge I have of his plan and his atonement. I know I will see His loving face again and be encircled about by his loving arms. My family, thanks to the blessings of the temple, will be together forever. Some days I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but I still want it to happen. I love my three precious gifts from God and I am so lucky to be their mother. They are some of my biggest blessings. I also love my husband. He is my eternal companion and the eternities will be a boring place without him by my side. I know that my Redeemer lives and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
