When we feel like there isn't any hope or we feel like we have fallen to deep, never forget there is always someone there. As we go through life and we have trails and misunderstandings sometimes we can feel alone and pessimistic but as we continure to learn and to trust, we start to be informed and more opptomistic. We need to keep moving and pushing through and doing the hards things to get ourselves out of our deep hole. As we do this we start to look back and see how involved out Heavenly Father was and how Jesus never left us. Often times we think how did I even do life without this ceratin item or thing before and now we can't unsee things. As I continue to have experiences with my Savior I know that he wants me to continue to see with new eyes. As we do that we begin to have confidence peace which brings lasting Joy.

A Higher Joy

As we go through life I think every so often we feel alone, whether that be we don't feel like we fit in, we feel depressed, we are going through postpartum, we feel shame. There are so many different ways we can feel that lonliness. Even Jesus our Savior felt utterly alone because he had to to he would know how to help you and me. We are here on this earth to learn and grow and we often have to grow through this.

As I talk about the poppy flower and how much this flower means to me it helps me know that I truly am not alone. We bloom when we are ready and it doesn't mean we are any less if we are the last one to bloom. We are still just as beautiful as the other flowers. I also believe as we begin to start blooming others notice and they want to bloom as well, then soon enough we have this beautiful garden filled with flowers.

If you do feel alone, try and Remember the moments where you did know that Heavenly Father did notice you and that can be a reminder that he knows where you are at at all times. He sees you!

As we discuss the topic of trust, it is a matter of faith over fear. When you have been betrayed or hurt we need discerment to know when and if we can trust this person again. If we choose that, and we do want to build trust in a relationship again then there has to be a mutual understanding between two parties for trust to grow. If that understanding is there then we can break the bands that hold us hostage. We can use the power of discernment the Holy Ghost of when or what things we can do or what boundaries need to be set for trust to be re-built. Most often then not babysteps need to be made to go on this journey and that is how trust is built. Line upon line precept upon precept here a little there a little.
