strong winds and popcorn cupcakes

The wind still blows the stongest tree, same wind will carry me, when I set my fears aside there's still a voice inside, when the storms are gone the sun can find me .... Well the sun has definitely found me today!!! Today I have felt truly blessed, blessed with good friends, family, the gospel and the beautiful world around me!! It helps that I work with really great people who make me laugh all the time and make each day a joy!!!! I think I am coming to the end of one of my own personal storms, its a wonderful feeling!!! It's also a great time for reflection. When I think about the trials and difficult times I have passed through (im pretty sure compared to some people's hard times they are nothing!!!!) I can honestly say that I am thankful for them because in one way or another they have shaped me , strenghtened my testimony and faith in heavenly father and the gospel and have made me a stonger and better person!! Although I'm pretty sure I have moaned and groaned my way through every single trial and hard time and have never appriciated them at the time!!!!!! I know that Heavenly Father gives us our trials to help us learn and grow. Heavenly Father does not put us through trials for his own good, he already knows the answers and the outcomes, he already knows what we are going to do, he puts us through them to help us learn the answers for ourselves and to learn about ourselves. From now on I am going to do my best to look at trials and challenges as blessings in disguise because really thats exactly what they are!!!! :) As I always say I LOVE A CHALLENGE!!! :)
