Below is a comment to a friend's blog I made: "As I was reading your thoughts I felt them as true to myself as they are to you. I have been struggling with validating myself...trying not to need others to do that for me. Why do other's opinions of us matter so much? I would love and look forward to the day where I am totally happy with myself. I just have to remember I am amazing! I am amazaing even when the day does not go perfect."

We function in our own little world and don't seem to notice others around. We are all having experiences that are not only for our learning but for others to learn from.

Why do we seem to retreat to our own little world rather than experience life with others who are around us and love us?

I was able to experience some joy today...actually I was able to experience it twice that I was able to fully acknowledge at the time. I had a wonderful experience with my husband this morning even thou we were experiencing a very scary moment. The joy was in the trust that is between the two of us. Knowing that we can depend on one another to get us thru....

Being in the Relief Society presidency is not something I ever thought would be a calling that would come to me. I struggle with myself sometimes that I am called to lead when I don't feel worthy or ideal for the position. We have the most spiritual presidency meetings! These two hours we spend together a week is one of the most spiritual uplifting. Heavenly Father knew I would need these two hours to fill my bucket and lift me. These sisters have been a great support and blessing to me the past year and a half. Thank you Heavenly Father for the calling!
