Someday

Seems this past month I have been drawn to the story of Adam and Eve. For many years now Ive been yearning for a true testimony of Adam and Eve and searching for understanding behind the "Fall". And it wasnt till recently that I have felt my heart drawn to them. We visited the Temple over the weekend for the first time after my miscarriage. Once again I felt drawn towards Adam and Eves experiences and lessons. I wondered why this was so profound to me at this time in my life. Its wasnt until this week and the new challenges that came our way that really broke me down and made me realize the gift and beauty behind the "Fall". We can not know true Joy till we pass through sorrow. For that gives me great comfort in knowing that "SOMEDAY" that Joy will follow this deep time of sorrow. Its a promise! And just knowing that allows me to wake up each morning and "Fine JOY in it". Its there if we seek and search for it. The joy I discovered yesterday though my day was filled with sorrow was the testimony that my Savior lives and loves me. He lives to wipe away my tears...he lives to silence all my fears....he lives my hungry soul to feed...he lives to bless in times of need.

Since a very little girl I have found so much peace and comfort in songs. I know my Heavenly Father is aware of this comfort and has always found a way to touch my spirit and heal my wounds through a simple song on the radio or just simply placed in my head. The two beautiful songs that rang true in my head all day were....

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I am grateful for music in my life and the impact it has on me as a Child of God. Its builds my character and helps me gain strength through to weak times. I know "SOMEDAY" I will feel that overwhelming since of Joy, for now I will try each day to find it hiding in the midst of sorrow. For I know now there is Joy to be found in everything.

It really is amazing how a song can make your day. It does get better, but how or when? I wish I knew. Like it says, "It is better for us to pass through sorrow that we may know the joy" Sorry Keri that this happened to your family. There are somethings that I wish never happened in this world, and that is one of them.
