"Months of doubt building, and losing sight of the dream I want to build and why I want to build it...I get glimpses of inspiration that can happen, then doubt that I am capable. It's causing me to struggle to connect with myself and I don't get out of bed. Feeling a lack of purpose and wonder if I'm meant to have my dreams. {Consecrated Life Poem} Lots of words of peace that I feel...I feel the commitment I've made to be able to stand as a witness that there is hope. Not just hope, but to dream and have miracles happen... I feel like maybe my part isn't big enough... then I say something simple and I'm amazed at how it will help someone...I didn't realize what I would have to live through to have that kind of compassion and empathy... it means I'm strong. There is always hope. There is so much more...I just hope I have the strength to do it all because I'm just human... It's as if Heavenly Father is speaking to me and reminding me of the journey I chose, and the mission I chose... I can learn what it is I am missing to keep my conduit clear because I live by faith every day. It's what keeps me going... I can't help but share and keep going...I have a purpose when someone comes in my path and I can light their lamp and help them find joy.”
