Tonight, I feel peace.
Although my life has been more chaotic this week than most weeks, I feel more peace and serenity than I have in a long time.
It's not the circumstances of my life.
In just this past week, we finally got a signed contract on our new house in AZ, I fulfilled my calling (RSP) to the best of my ability, one of my best friends (Susan) passed away, and I withdrew my children from our wonderful schools.
Add to that a mild stomach flu that is going the rounds through our family, and it should be a week when I've created at least a couple of bald spots on my head from pulling my hair out.
However, along with the extra responsibility my calling has added, I have also received a measure of clarity and understanding of God's awareness of each of us.
He knows us.He knows our names, our fears, our struggles, and He desires to bless us.
We just need to turn to Him...daily, hourly, each minute if needed, and He will help carry the burdens we have been given.
How I love my Savior, and our Heavenly Father.
They carry me when the burdens are full and heavy...and they truly make the burdens light.
They give peace.
Peace.
What more do we need?
My Family

Kris,
I am so very sorry to hear about Susan. I had no idea. I am grateful you have peace.

I too am sad to hear about Susan. I wasn't aware how serious her condition had become. How any mother of a crew that large can find "peace" in any moment, let alone the chaos you are currently facing, is a testiment to your unwavering faith and confidence in your Savior's supporting hand. I salute you.
Kris,
I am so sorry in Susan's passing. She was a wonderful friend to you and I count myself lucky that I got to know her a little bit.
I am also so sorry to hear about Susan. Her struggle sure was a long one, wasn't it. I am thankful that she is no longer in pain, but sad for family and friends that she left behind. I'm glad that you were able to have such a wonderful friendship with her.
Kris ,

Kristine,
I am so happy to hear that you are feeling peace. I know that some days my choice to have faith and to rely on Heavenly Father keeps me up and moving (at least just up.) I really am sorry to hear that you lost your friend, Susan. She was lucky to have you. Remember the peace for all those craggy moments to come... Love You!
