I was laid off. We will not be getting the two paychecks that are due (about $2000 worth). Because the company is closing, Kyle will not be working there. So, now, we do not know what we are going to do, or where we will be going to in 5 weeks time.
And I"m ok with that. It's hard, but we will get through.
It was "good" timing, as good as timing can go in a situation like this.
But on top of that, my dear best friend's husband left her last Friday. I went to stay with her for a few days. My heart broke (and continues to break) for her. She is also is diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety disorders. The days I were there were a roller coaster, but I am so glad I was there for her. I love her.
And then, on top of that, another dear friend of mine lost her baby two days ago, at 34 weeks along. My dear friend had to go in, be induced, and give birth to a perfect little girl, who had already departed from this life.
I know many other people are struggling with trials and difficulties right now, but those are the recent few that are weighing on my mind.
My heart is heavy. I feel tired.
I know that God is there, that He will "bind up the brokenhearted" (Is. 61:1) and "He healeth the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"(Psalm 147:3) and that is my Testimony.
"My dear brothers and sisters, there will be days and nights when you feel overwhelmed, when your hearts are heavy and your heads hang down. Then, please remember, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, is the Head of this Church. It is His gospel.... My dear friends, the Savior heals the broken heart and binds up your wounds (Psalm 147:3). Whatever your challenges may be, wherever you live on this earth, your faithful membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the divine powers of the gospel of Jesus Christ will bless you to endure joyfully to the end."
Elder Uchtdorf, October Conference 2007
