some might ask...

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I love being a member of the church.  I love reading the scriptures.  I love praying.  I love going to the temple.  I love telling people about what I believe.  I even love fasting.  You might ask what fasting is. 

Well, every month, we are asked to abstain from food or drink for a period of time.  The time period depends on the person and their physical abilities, but generally it is anywhere from two meals to an entire 24 hour period.  There are people who aren't able to abstain from food or drink and so they prayerfully decide what other sacrifice they can make to participate in their fast.

I happen to be one of those people  Fasting is really hard on my body.  So typically I fast something else.  Today was fast day.  So I decided that for three days I would fast diet coke instead of the traditional food and drink.  This is a good one for me, because sometimes I don't think I can live without my diet coke.  But I am ready and eager to do so.  Especially because it means that I can show my faith to the Lord in asking about those things that are so near and dear to my heart. 

Today I have found my inner peace again and I am so excited about it.  I started my fast today with a prayer in my heart that whatever our purpose was with the adoption process, I would be able to understand and feel comfort.  And I am so grateful to the Lord for giving me my answer.

We are supposed to adopt.  We are supposed to meet a child that is to come to our home through somebody else.  I don't who that child will be and I don't know when.  But I know there is a plan.  I know that Heavenly Father is preparing us to be ready.  And most importantly, I know that it will all work out. 

I love the church. I love the principles that we live by.  I love the peace that I feel when I am doing the will of the Lord.  I love that there is a plan.  And best of all, I love that the Lord doesn't always present the plan to us the way that we think it should go.  His way is always the best way. 

Life is Good!
