Craziness

Life is crazy. It is just plain crazy. But with all the craziness comes the reassurance that with the gospel of Jesus Christ we can make it. We can do it. We can find peace and calm amidst the turmoil. I am also grateful for the people in my life who are willing to share their lives with me to help me feel that peace. People who have come into my life and shown me what is really important. Shown me how to deal with the craziness and come out on top. I thank all of you for who you are and what you are doing. There are numerous people who don't even know the effect they have had on me and I thank you too. There are also those who know the help they have been to me and I thank you. Every day as I move forward I thank my Heavenly Father for the people in my life. I will be eternally grateful. I hope to be able to help you someday. I hope that someday my mistakes and my trial can help someone else.

There are so many amazing people around us. But sometimes, you have to get to KNOW someone to really appreciate them. Take the time to listen and learn about them. Listen to their experiences. See the good in them. Learn FROM them. Life is crazy for them too but in different ways and we can all learn from each other. That annoying person at work, the loud neighbor, or a difficult extended family member. These people who we think we can't approach. The people who come into our lives but we don't take the time to get to know. It is amazing what a simple conversation can start. A new friendship, a spiritual experience, or an answer to prayers. In a way, as God's children, we all NEED each other and God wants us to support each other. I have learned this a lot lately and it has affected my life very deeply. I have to be so much better at being approachable and getting to know people. We all have good, helpful hearts. So let's use them :)

To all the craziness, I say BRING IT! There is nothing we can't overcome. There is nothing that can stop us. If we take a look around and forget ourselves, we will see amazing people all around us. Many of us striving for the same things. Peace and happiness. I know that we have a Heavenly Father and a Savior who love us and want us to come unto them. We also have many people to help us and for us to help along the way. I know this to be true.
