Your sorrow will turn into joy when you have faith.

On Saturday, my Stake Relief Society held a Women's Conference. In the conference, there was a mom, and a husband and wife (Laura and Kelly Griffins) who did a musical program. Their program featured the idea of troubled souls or spirits. The was a sharacter of a young lady who was down in the mist of sorrow for being in a home with abuse and suffering. As she struggled to find a way out she began to find peace and hope through the gosple of our Heavenly Father and comfort in the knowledge that Our Savior is there beside us. The line in one of the songs says: "Your sorrow will turn into joy when you have faith. Come frind Him and He will give you peace." As she continued to find the comfort through the Savior, she did find hope and peace, she found comfort, she felt loved. Also, as the got to that point she dedicated her life to help others find that same comfort and peace.
In my 31 years here on this earth, I have been faced with many challenges. Some of the were from abuse from many sources, and some physical and emotional issues that I have and do face. There are times that I feel that I do not deserve wonderful things loke my husband and children with a home. I struggle with my weight and often feel that I do not deserve to be thin no matter how much effort that I give to become thin and healthy. I struggle with female issues. I continue to have cysts on my ovaries that are painful, and I cannot get pregnant with ease or lose weight. I emotions are up and down sometime. But through my decision to have a personal relationship with Heavenly Father and to read the words of the Savior and pray to Heavenly Father, I do find comfort and peace. I have learned that because I should not be able to get pregnant, my 3 children are a blessing from Heavenly Father (and they definitly are), I do deserve my home, my hisband and children who I love with all my heart, and someday, I will be able to have another child and have a thin and healthy body. I will admit that it is hard to always remember or to always have faith to work hard everyday, but there are days that I do remember and I do feel very blessed.
