Amazing

So I just had an amazing day!( and of course I hope you did as well) worked a great shift with the individuals I serve, talked to my papa, best friend , Elder Kelly and had some house guests. And it's only 8:40 pm. I am truly blessed. This blog is being shared by some very important people to me. Two of them being my original missionaries. My papa had them knock on his door and even though he was not really interested he never shut them out. Soon they found out he was moving and offered to come back any time and help him out. So when my papa gave the house to me(to buy in the future) he urged me to call the missionaries. I thought I could handle it with Andrew. But soon was overwhelmed and the call for help happened. Little did I know a phone call would turn into so much more. These missionaries are now both in new areas and flourishing. I still get to keep tabs on the great works they are doing! They have helped me heal so much. Almost two years ago I was 5 months pregnant. The day after Easter I knew something wasn't right. After seeing my doctor I soon found out I was losing my son. Losing Matthew was the hardest thing I have faced. Back then I wasn't sure where God was that day. I felt my faith journey to almost come to a hault. But then I just prayed and prayed. Soon we decided to host a foreign exchange student. Boy were we surprised when the boy student picked for us was named Mathieu. God may have my Matthew in Heaven but he gave us Mathieu from Belguim to be in our lives forever. Mathieu helped us grow and heal. But through the missionaries kind words and scripture guidance the whole I once felt would never closed started to heal. Anyways I noticed Elder Kelly liked to personalize his planners with pictures and scripture and soon asked if he coils do something special for me. I have a specific notebook I started when I was pregnant and soon it turned into my healing journal. Elder Kelly was asked to personalize my journal and I couldn't have asked for anything better. It took me a couple of days to be able to read one of the poems he put inside. It was so beautiful and perfect. It captured my emotions and feelings so well. 

Fear Not My Child

You

Came to us from God-

a child so pure

that in your trip to earth 

you didn't need to stay and prove to Him

that you would do His will.

God only needed someone willing

to create for you a home-

and then to let you go.

How blessed we are, 

for He has chosen us. 

And though we weep,

peace comes in knowing 

that death will only bring

the sleep that wakens you to life again

to breathe the warmth of paradise.

Fear not, my child.

We will be together soon 

and hold you in our arms-

encircled in celestrial love

that unites us with our God.

There you have it. The most precious words I read since the loss of Matthew on April 9th 2012. So beautiful. Thank you Elder Kelly and Elder Jones for impacting my life forever.
