95/100 #10 Dream

Gratitude

I'm so grateful for

dreams that do come true

and prayers that do get

answered even if it takes

what seems like forever.

The Word

President Dieter F Uchtdorf
 "The Infinite Power of Hope", Oct. 2008 General Conference
"Hope is not knowledge, but rather the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us. It is confidence that if we live according to God’s laws and the words of His prophets now, we will receive desired blessings in the future. It is believing and expecting that our prayers will be answered. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance."

On my heart...

Today I've been thinking a lot about

what I was doing a year ago.

A year ago today I was in the hospital

waiting for L to come into the world.

I had dreamed about having a baby

for many many years.

Sometimes when I'd be 

feeling down, I would

feel like I wanted to give

up on the dream of getting

married to an amazing guy

and having a baby.

But dreaming is so important

in finding strength.

To help me remember my dream

and not give up on it,

I would find pictures like

the one above to put around

my space so I would see

them frequently.

It gave me hope.

And a year ago

my dreams became

my reality.

I married an amazing guy,

and I was having my baby.

Believe in your dreams!

And have hope that 

they will happen.

I love my life!

God is good!
