(I know this is a bit personal it's my journal entry but I want to always remember this)
July 5, 2010
Today I have been thinking a lot about what is going to happen in our families’ future. Wondering how in the world we are going to pay for Cash’s medical bills. I really could care less about how much the bill is going to be because no price is too much for our little Cash’s life. But it was a concern because we don’t have much money. I have had a prayer in my heart all day that Monkey could just sell a lot so we would not have to go into debt too much more because in a month Monkey will be starting Optometry school and we will have to take out at least 45 grand a year. So I have been worried but so overwhelmingly grateful that our sweet Cash is with us still. I decided to study scriptures after Belle and Cash went to bed and I started reading in Doctrine and Covenants 104: 78-80
78 And again, verily I say unto you, concerning your debts—behold it is my will that you shall pay all your debts.
79 And it is my will that you shall humble yourselves before me, and obtain this blessing by your diligence and humility and the prayer of faith.
80 And inasmuch as you are diligent and humble, and exercise the prayer of faith, behold, I will soften the hearts of those to whom you are in debt, until I shall send means unto you for your deliverance.
What an incredible answer to my prayer. I almost died when I read this scripture. I was just reading my next chapter for the day and here was my Heavenly Father, I believe speaking right to me. I felt overwhelmed with comfort and peace. I really wanted to know how to be humble… I started to study what being humble meant…
Humble
-not proud or arrogant; modest
-Humbling - causing awareness of your shortcomings
-having a feeling of insignificance
-courteously respectful
- The feeling of awe
How do I explain how I feel? How can I express the love I have felt from my Heavenly Father? How can I show how grateful and completely overwhelmed I am that he took the time to take care of Cash and on top of that he answer my prayer through the scriptures and make me feel complete peace? How do I act when I have been so blessed? I am at awe! I am at awe of the millions of blessing he has blessed me with. I know I can’t do this alone, I need him every hour. I don’t know how humble I am, but I am going to try my absolute hardest and more to become such. I do know one thing I will never stop praying! I will never stop thanking Heavenly Father for my family. And as crazy as this sounds I will always thank him for my trials, because each one I overcome with him I know I have become stronger.

Reading this at 12:45am right before i fall asleep is exactly what i needed after a hard day. I appreciate your personal post!
Dearest Mamie!!!!! Whenever I am having a hard time with my own trials and problems you always seem to help me without knowing it.
In college I can't count the times you were always there to help me and I have never expressed my love and gratitude to you,
and now again I am having trials that I thought for sure no one would be able to help me but you are right there again showing me the silver lining in everything.
Mamie I love you more then you will ever know and it is so amazing the things you do for me and yet you are not near me! Thank you for your post! As personally as it was I has truely helped with my trials and given me the extra boost to keep climbing!!!!
All in all I love you and your sweet family more then I can express in words!
That is so sweet! I love how little things like that happen. It is such a relief- He really is listening!
