I wrote a post on my blog about it, but I'd like to share a little exerpt here. <BR/><BR/>"Yesterday I felt peace in my heart. My house was a mess, I wasn't accomplishing all the things I needed to, but I felt peace. As I was driving down the road contemplating it I suddenly realized what I was experiencing was the atonement working in my life. I understood what it meant when different groups of people in the scriptures said that their burdens were made light. I could never comprehend that before, but what I came to understand is the way it happens is different for everyone. For me, to make my burdens light means to take the tightness out of my chest. To make it so that when I see my messy house, or when I think of all the things I should be teaching my children, or when I think of all the roles I have to fill, that I don't get that panicky feeling and want to give up."<BR/><BR/>What this experience taught me was that the Lord knows me personally and his atonement works for me in the way that I need it and I am ever grateful for that.<BR/><BR/>As always, thank you for sharing this heartache and growth experience with us. You are an inspiration.mindyluwhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443030788449986652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-22867669447435206392008-08-25T02:21:00.000-07:002008-08-25T02:21:00.000-07:00I hope you don't mind that I post a comment on you...I hope you don't mind that I post a comment on your blog, even though we've never met. I found your blog through my good friend, Amy, and I really feel inspired to leave a comment. Have you ever heard the song "In My Arms" by Plumb? Well, I just heard it the other day and was knocked over by the words. To anyone listening, the song might simply be talking about the relationship between a parent and a child, but for me, I saw it as the relationship between me and Heavenly Father. Here is the main chorus, "When the clouds will rage and storms will race in, but you will be safe in my arms. Rains will pour down, waves will crash all around, but you will be safe in my arms."Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137152835777206425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-43964150905892699252008-08-22T14:36:00.000-07:002008-08-22T14:36:00.000-07:00This was a great post.

In some ways it seems like it's really not our role to try to consciously apply Gospel principles to our situations--it's our job to come before the Lord with a totally broken heart and ask for help and healing. Just be vulnerable I guess.<BR/>I have no idea if that made any sense.<BR/>But you're not supposed to be able to do it on your own....I know that made sense at least!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715052085806922197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-44512487424959216672008-08-21T21:45:00.000-07:002008-08-21T21:45:00.000-07:00Time- although the great "healer" doesn't erase- n...Time- although the great "healer" doesn't erase- nor would you want it to. My dear little nephew was born at 21 weeks and lived just one day- but we all think of him, keep track of where he "is" he would have been 8 last April. He is a part of our family and our lives and we visit his grave frequently. Prayer in my heart for you both.Head Nurse or Patient- you be the judgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188476280516873726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-40144019522967725242008-08-21T21:01:00.000-07:002008-08-21T21:01:00.000-07:00These same words and thoughts have spoken volumes ...These same words and thoughts have spoken volumes to me over the last little while. I needed to come here tonight to read these words, I am always feeling alone...and that I can't do this or I can't do that...but I forget it is at these times he is carrying me, just as he is carrying you.
