I have found great comfort in my religion. I have found faith in my future, peace in my current position and desire to be more than I am. I have hard times and tough days, but it always comes back to my deep love of my Father in Heaven and my Savior.
Today I talked with a friend who is struggling with her faith. Hard times and lack of support have made her unsure. I wanted to reach out and hug her and give her a piece of my faith and let her feel of the peace the abounds in my life. And it was then that I learned a very important and special lesson.
I have felt the sting of disappointment, the fear of losing people, and the uncertainty of the things I believe in. As I looked in my dear friends face I saw a lonely and scared look that I have seen before, reflected back at me in the mirror.
My life's mission may not be to be a famous actress, an award winning poet, or a mother to lots of children, but I do know what it is. If I can ease the burden of those around me, even for a moment, I will have succeeded. I may not be what I imagined I would be or what society thinks I should be, but I am happy. I am a strong, determined and faith filled woman.
And that, is a blessing.
