Answered Prayers

This morning I was given the opportunity to listen to a talk by Russell M. Nelson, and was blown away at how my prayers were specifically answered. He really spoke straight to my heart, only I didn't feel like his words were only from him...I felt they were straight from the Lord's mouth. I recently had someone who I loved very dearly pass away. My Aunt Pauline. It's amazing because when I stop to think about her death, for the first time I smile!! I know of the sweet reunion she is experiencing on the other side. She is now with her husband she has been without for almost 10 years, and is joining her mother and father (my grandpa and grandma), which I know without a doubt is such a happy time for them. I am so grateful for this gospel, for the plan we have to know where we can go after this life and what we need to do on this earth for guidance. Although this talk I heard this morning didn't really relate to the passing of my Aunt, other prayers were specifically answered, and this I can testify with President Uchdorf that the Lord does answer every prayer.

My heart is full this morning with the spirit and gratitude for this gospel and the opportunity I have to listen to our apostles and prophets at even the click of a button. I am so grateful for everything I have, even when I have hard times. Its so easy to get caught up in the hard times, yet when you bring the spirit in and really strive to be better, the Lord will help you. He has helped me and will help you! I heard a song also this morning that I wish I could find the lyrics to. Its called "Joy in the Journey" by Julie de Azevedo.

I will try to post it here:

I know this gospel is true, and I am so grateful for the light it brings into my life everyday!
