That is the only word to describe how I feel right now. I have to admit earlier today that I was overwhelmed with everything going on in our lives right now. I just got called to do scouts at church and have felt so busy with that and piano and preschool that I just didn't enjoy every little moment of the day. I have been feeling so stressed about my business, my church calling, being a good mom, and a good wife that keeps the house clean and makes dinner. I think about the future and doing InVitro again and it just makes me sick thinking about all the money it will cost again. Then as I was driving home from the store a moment ago I had the most overwhelming feeling come over me. I realized just how blessed I am. I am blessed to have a beautiful daughter who makes me smile every moment. I am blessed to have a husband that has a great job. I am blessed to be able to stay at home with Kambree and still be able to teach and enjoy children in my life. I am blessed to have a wonderful Heavenly Father who knows everything I need and takes care of me every day. As I felt this the tears started to stream and realized that money and time spent on callings and work really aren't a big deal at all. I just wanted to share this so that I can always remember how much I have and to never take it for granted.

Thanks for sharing that! Just what I needed to hear! Thanks Julie! I am greatful for you!
That was a beautiful post! It's true- it's so easy to get caught up in everything going on in our lives or going wrong and to forget all of the blessings! Thanks for the reminder!
Julie - I loved that! Thanks for the reminder. Life is good. Thanks for doing your calling also. As a mother of a scout, I can most definitely say that you make a difference and are appreciated. :)
I'm so glad you were able to feel that tender mercy at the moment you needed it. I love you!
I also am glad you shared. What a neat little experience. I know that 'overwhelmed with life' feeling all too well right now, I need to slow down and think of all the goodness too.
Isn't that the truth? We all need to stop and think about the little, and big, things that make us so lucky in our lives. Thanks for making me reflect on why I feel blessed.
It's good to remember the good things we have so we have something to think on when life gets us down!
You are so blessed. As a wife and a mother you try to be perfect at everything. I have learned that you can't be 100% to everyone all the time. Sometimes the house is dirty, sometimes my calling isn't done the best but you are there for your children and your husband. It is amazing how Heavenly Father makes everything turn out right, and makes you remember how blessed you really are. This really touched me today. Thanks
