A new journey begins....

At times in our life, we find that things are hard and we seek guidance. We chose which guidance we will listen to, the light side or the dark side. The Lord has told us that we are here on earth to learn from our trials and to gain a greater knowledge of things. So I would really like a sneak peek into what I should be gaining? I know that whatever trial doesn't kill us will make us stronger. Well with that being said, I should be a HEAVY WEIGHT LIFTER of at least 1000 pounds!!!

I haven't said much about the trials currently in my life as I need time to process everything. I will have been married to Joseph Nuttall 12 years as of July 7. However, I have filed for divorce. I think back on those 12 years and will say, they involved the best and worst times in my life. I do not regret anything and do not wish for anything different.

It may be weird to hear my say that; however, I have been able to learn the following:

-Marriage is something that both parties must be willing to work at (one can not do it all by themselves)
-I am a daughter of GOD and my worth is untold
-I am stronger then I ever could have imagined!
-My happiness is not nor should it ever be dependant on anyone else
-I have a firm testimony in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and know that the gospel is TRUE!
-Life never goes the way we think it should
-When the road gets rough, hang on and try to find joy in the ride
-I will be OK
-I have the gift to be comforted and carried along the way
-My family and friends support and love can fix ANYTHING!!

As I begin a new journey and chapter in life, it seems very scary, but I am willing to hold my head up high and know that things will work out the way that my loving Heavenly Father wants them to. I have felt his surrounding love around me as I have started this journey and know that he has had to carry me many times; however, I am grateful to have him carry me and walking beside me during this time.

I'm sorry that my story does not have a happy ending, but it has a new beginning. Joey will know that he is loved by both parents and life will continue with just a new path being taken.
