Freckles

I know my title might seem weird but it will make sense. .I promise :)

Freckles. . .I have a lot of them! Sometimes I want to hate them, but I have learned over many years to embrace them. My face would seem naked if I didn't have them. I even say I don't wear much make up because my face is already decorated! My point is that learning to accept the things about ourselves that perhaps we have no control over will ultimately lead us to being happier with ourselves. I am the worst at picking apart all the things I don't "love" about my body, but why? Why focus on what we don't like it will just draw focus away from finding the things that make us unique. It's not easy some days. . .to stay positive. It's not always easy to look into a mirror and see the beauty that is there. The mirror can be our worst enemy or our best friend, it all depends on us.

"I like my freckles. . .they are angel kisses, so I must be really, really loved!"
"Dynamite comes in small packages"
"Smile lines are just proof I am truly happy"
"Being very fair skinned is in right now. . . I would make an awesome Vampire!"

Those are just a few things I have made into positive things instead of Negative. Go ahead. . .try it!

I used to try to cover up my freckles with makeup, but gave up because it is impossible. Gotta learn to love 'em!

My Testimony

It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen
