How the Lord can answer our prayers

So, I have been feeling blue lately. Not really sure why or if it was related to just being pregnant or something. Then....tonight so many answers came flooding in to help me out. The visiting teaching message this month telling me to remember who I am, what my potential is, and that I am a child of God. THEN....I read my friend Heather's blog, and she had posted exactly the way I feel. Heather I hope you don't mind that I am sharing your thoughts, but I don't think I could express it any better. It's just EXACTLY how I have been feeling. So here it is from the words of Heather:

"I catch a glimpse of your lives and I sometimes envy you. I see all the cool, crafty, artsy stuff that some of you do and I want so badly to be crafty. I start to wonder why I can't sew something other than buttons on shirts. I also see how perfect some of you are as mothers and wish I could be more like you. It's funny because I can tell these thoughts are usually brought on by Satan and I immediatly try to push them away, but yesterday I was having one of those days where I just couldn't let it go.
At one point I was even talking to Chris about this trying to figure out how I need to pick up a new hobbie so that I could feel fulfilled. I was looking at myself as weak sauce in need of a little extra spice to be ridiculously cool and good looking.
Well, as it usually happens when I feel this way, I found something that helped me snap out of my pouty, whiny-face state when I stumbled across this blog that totally changed my outlook. The author of this blog made me realize that "our worth is not defined by our skill at hobbies." She posted about being true to one's-self and helped me realize that we all are unique and special in our own way. So what if I can't sew, make a quilt, take amazing pictures, or even live in a fatty house. All of these things do not define who I am. All I know is that I am a Daughter of God and dog gone it I am special in my own way! I have plenty of talents and even if I didn't, who cares. I have two beautiful children and the most amazing, sexy husband (who, by the way, edits all my blog posts because my English skillz suck) and I have no reason not to feel fulfilled in my life.
President Hinckley said,"You are very precious each of you, regardless of your circumstances. You occupy a high and sacred place in the eternal plan of God, our Father in Heaven. You are his daughters, precious to Him, loved by Him, and very important to Him. His grand design cannont succeed without you."
So if you have ever felt like I did yesterday or if you find yourself feeling blue, take some time go check out this post, it's seriously worth the time. Plus, she talks about SYTYCD which is the greatest thing since shopping malls. You are all awesome!"

I also have realized that I am unique and talented in my own ways, and people love me for different reasons, and most importantly, God loves me for who I am and the person I have become. Truly, that is most important. I will continue to try harder to be a better me, but at least I will have peace knowing that I am a daughter of God while doing it.
