My heart has been very heavy since last week.

A sweet little girl in my ward (Kalli's age) is seriously ill. Since I received word of what she (and her family) are going through, I have been unable to hold back the tears.

I don't always understand why things happen, but it is hard for me not to ask why THIS has to happen to THEIR family. I don't get it.

A lot of prayer, and fasting, and faith in the healing power is going on in this house right now. I am looking above my own trials (as small and trivial as I recognize them to be) to help alleviate the pain of others.

I know that God has a purpose, and that we are all a part of His eternal plan, and I guess that knowledge brings me a little bit of peace.

I know that I must rely on the Lord, and trust in Him. I know that He will not forsake me.

Through the trials of others, we are strengthened. I pray that the heartache I feel, and the desire to trust in the Lord, will strengthen me for the future trials that will come my way.
