pray for Emmie

So.. I wanted to be updating my blog everyday, but that isn't working out so well. I am trying though! Maybe, I should set a smaller goal... Like twice a week! Today is Sunday, and it was a LONG day! We went to sacrament meeting and it was really awesome today. We heard from the new converts in our ward. Some were funny and some were emotional. But one thing I took home with me today was this...

"God will never give you more than you can handle"

I really like this quote, because the more you think about it, the more you realize how true it is. Sometimes, it feels like the whole world is crashing down. I know that I will go through a lot of hard times in my life, because everyone does, but I know that no matter how big the burden is, I can handle it.

After sacrament meeting, we made a trip down to Phoenix. I have a sweet little cousin named Emmie and she is in the intensive care unit. She is only eight years old (and I'm about 99% sure she's taller than I am). We have kept her in our prayers and have fasted for her. Hopefully, Heavenly Father has plans for her to stay here with us. We love her so much!

  2. Melissa you are constantly reminding me how grown up you are getting. I enjoyed the talks at sacrament too and I am glad that you are no longer playing with your lipgloss or coloring pictures but actually listening. I am proud of the woman you are becoming and I hope that your trials that you will face are all ones you can handle.
