first testimony meeting being home

I should have known my first testimony meeting after coming home from the hospital would be emotional. The Bradshaw side of me our just bawl babies. No matter what when we are all together if my Dad starts crying we all go down. It is pretty bad.I can never say all i want to, when i start out crying. Today i felt that i had to get up and publicly thank my Father in Heaven for his love and letting us keep our little girl. I truly know i am loved.

I am so grateful for the Savior and The atonement. I am grateful for the knowledge that he suffered all my pains not just the pains of sin and repentance but also pains of sorrow and trails. He truly does make our burdens lighter. He will never leave us.

I am grateful for my trials because I know they make my marriage stronger, my family stronger, and my relationship with my Heavenly Father and Savior stronger. I think there are two types of trials, one that bring you closer to Christ and ones that you let take you away. Hopefully we can take every trial we have as an opportunity to bring us closer to Christ.

Jay also got up and Bore his testimony, like my Dad he has a really strong testimony. One thing he said that i feel exactly the same is, how in Africa they about called for permission to give there own sacrament because they missed it so bad. I feel the same way. I love gong to church I always have. I feel that it renews me and helps me get through life. I am so grateful for the gospel and being able to take the sacrament. After not being able to go to church, for what ever reason i start to crave it so bad, it is like a big part of me is missing. Corey also got up and bore his testimony. He got my tears falling all over again. He is an amazing person.

I am so grateful for all my family and blessings. I am so grateful for each of my beautiful kids. The scripture about having joy in your posterity is so true, my kids really do feel my life with joy. I am so grateful for Travis. I try to Thank Heavenly Father for him every day. My hope is that if i am grateful for the most amazing husband, Father, and best friend anyone could ever have, I will deserve to keep him forever. My goal in being a good wife is to treat him half as good as he treats me. I love him so much. like i always say," I really am spoiled".
