I share this intimate picture to also share my testimony. As most of my closest friends and family know of my struggle these past couple years, of failure, forgiving, overcoming, seeking, and trying to stand on my feet. I decided early on in this pregnancy that I wanted to do it drug free. My 3 previous experiances of having a baby was easy...epidural/no pain...just push the baby out in less than 5 pushes and be done. This time however was NOT easy at all...but I feel the reward was so much more. The overcoming something hard, the patience of enduring, the extreme pain, and something I felt was the closest physically that I could get a glimpse of what the Savior has done for me. After she came out all I could do was cry from the triumph I felt at achieving the goal I set....and then this scripture in Alma came to my mind:
"And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!" (Alma 36:20)
Anyways I wanted to share my belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of a Savior and Redeemer, who died that we might LIVE, and that we might triumph. We can have forgiveness, and just as important we can forgive with His help. We can overcome and achieve the goals we set with Him by our side.
