Sometimes I wonder why life is so hard. But then I count my blessings and realize it isn't that hard if you keep the right persepective and loved ones in your life. I look back at the mistakes I've made and am so grateful for the people there who know it or not, have helped me through. I am also so grateful for the atoning love of our Savior. I don't know where I would be without his loving guidance and even the tough love he shows me. Recently I have realized how truely blessed I am to have the gospel in my life. The blessings and hope it brings to my life is insurmountable. And I still don't think I realize the amount blessings I can receive through it.
When you are at your lowest lows in life and feel like no can understand you, you're wrong. Your Savior, Jesus Christ is there with you every step of the way if you will let him be there. I think this is THE most important thing I have come to realize in my 19 years of living. That is a long time to finally realize, but I am sure glad I did.
I hope I can remember this fact when the hard times hit me because I know they are coming or else this wouldn't be considered life.
