Cecily JeNae

Today I am grateful for my girl. Not just that I'm a mom in general, but that I'm the mom to THIS spirit in particular. Of course, I think she's the best, and the cutest, and the smartest, but it's more than that. She seriously has a fun, funny, sometimes crazy, always amazing personality. She laughes at my jokes, and I laugh at hers. I'm pretty sure we're best friends. And best friends with dad. And I'm pretty sure that it will stay that way for a while. She's

the coolest. That's right. The coolest.

Trials

Today in church we spoke about happiness through our trials, and the light at the end of them. There is always light as long as we learn. I am grateful for the small trials I have been given, although I have never been happy about them at the time. Sometimes I feel like I have been spared the "really bad" trials of life so far but I don't think anyone has a monopoly on pain. We cannot possibly compare our trials to another persons, because we all have unique emotions, reactions, and spirits. God chose our trials to help us grow, I think. I'm trying to grow. I suck at it a lot. I feel like it's a good time for me to write this, because as of right now, all is well. But, tomorrow always brings change, and I may need to look back and take my own advice.
