Turns out things aren't as happy as I thought/hoped. Things for the family are down right ridiculous and filled with drama at the moment. It's very unfortunate, and it's stressing me out beyond belief. Amoungst all the crazy though, my relationship with my siblings has never been stronger than it is right now. I love them all so much. They mean the world to me. I'm so grateful for them, and that when times get hard, we stick together. I'm so lucky to have been blessed with my siblings. [And my best friends too, I should add!]
Being home in New York has been quite a challenge for me in itself, but with drama on top, it's even more difficult. Last night was possibly the worst it's ever been. But in the middle of it all, me and Cariann had the most wondeful and constructive conversation on just about everything in her life. She felt so relieved after, and if there was only one reason I was sent home to New York, one reason to make all the pain and struggle worth it, last night with Cariann would have been that moment for me. Below is my all time favorite scripture, and more and more it is becoming more relevent and real to me. Every day it becomes more a part of me than the day before. I'm so grateful for the scriptures, and the knowledge and power they bring into my life. I love the gospel.
Helaman 5:12
"12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
