Good Things to Come

So I guess by now any of you read my blog know that while I have been waiting to replace my camera I haven't been blogging lots... not to mention the fact that I am in search of a new computer as well. Life has hit us with some hard blows these past few years and it has been hard to get past a lot of them. So my goal when I had to stop posting was to at least get on here on Sundays and share something that was uplifting me and helping me get through these tough times. The gospel is an amazing strength to me when I feel like I just can't take anymore of what this world has to offer I can look forward to what eternity has to bless me with when I make it through this trial. I don't know if I have shared this video before.. I thought about going back to look but decided that even if I had it was worth sharing again. These past few days I have spent with my head in a tizzy as I have struggled with a new budget to get all of our debts paid off because I really want my family to have the security of living in their own home. I want to have a reliable vehicle that won't die in the middle of an intersection because the transmission decides to have a moment. I want peace and security in my life so that the everyday chaos of the world is easier to live with. So over and over I go again with numbers and more numbers trying to figure out the best way to do this so we can buy a house and get this vehicle. Now I love my husband to death but when it comes to stuff like this he isn't much help because knowing that if we don't run the dieing van for the next year will get us to our goal faster doesn't make him happy. He likes his toys and gadgets and the thought of going without is hard. It makes finding someone to talk to about this hard. Thank-you to my Mom and Bill for their advise to help get me through this long trip full of set backs. It reminded me of the video I am sharing because this poor family kept having problems and they kept going, even though they had to get help and the message afterwards reminds me to keep having hope and not to give up be good things will come, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Speaking of lights at the end of the tunnel, my sunshine, Ben, has come home from camp with a bunch of pictures and next week we will have a post in the middle of the week as he tells us all about it. Also I will get back into more regular posts after the kids get back into school because I will have time to fight with this silly computer of mine and I will be able to take pictures more regularly as I will be getting my new camera soon!! My first photo shoot will happen. See good things to come :)
