I am so happy that the prayers you prayed were answered in the particular things you asked for. I have to admit how it still hurts my heart to not understand why one person can pray for things and have things go in the direction of desires, but another with seemingly righteous desires would not and even though the prayers were offered in just as much faith (assumingly). You had had such a rough time with what Trevin went through with his first crisis event, and didn't want to experience that again. And so you can appreciate why I didn't want to go through that type of thing twice, either. Prayers and spiritual experiences just don't always pan out the way it seems they ought to for us mortals. I know either way, Heavenly Father loves all of us. And I know that prayer isn't really about getting what we want but to align our will with His, and build a closer relationship with Him and our Savior. Maybe it is just a good testimony that in asking for what you asked for, and seeing those things come to pass, that you are in alignment with His will for you and your family. And perhaps, though the prideful part of me doesn't accept it, those of us praying and hoping for things that never come to pass just aren't as in tune with what He has in plan for us. Anyway, I hope it's okay to share that with you - not trying to be a downer. Just as something you are helping others to think about by sharing your own experiences. I am trying to learn to be more humble and less angry when things don't go "well" especially when it seems so unfair. There is so much about what you are experiencing that most of us would say is unfair, and you are doing such a good job of not staying in that place, and enjoying the blessings of the moments you are sharing even through these struggles. <3plaidspoliticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393586634918991649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678158103626624695.post-48353340854556245032013-03-26T08:57:20.836-07:002013-03-26T08:57:20.836-07:00My heart goes out to you and your family.

You are in my prayers, always.
