So I wanted to give an update on how I feel today. I feel really happy. I had a big break down in a church parking lot that Justin and I meet at to switch cars/kids yesterday. I was crying so hard and experiencing a panic attack feeling sick to my stomach that Justin immediately called out of work. When we got home he spent over an hour listening to me talk and cry and get angry and every emotion under the moon. Then I asked him for a priesthood blessing. I know for some of my friends this is a foreign topic. (Essentially it is where my husband having received the Melchizedek priesthood by someone who had received it from someone who after a few someone's received it by Jesus Christ by them laying their hands on their head. Was given the power of God to act on His behalf to bless and sanctify His children while He is not on Earth.) Any way Justin placed his hands on my head and gave me a blessing from God. I wept through it all, but I felt the spirit very strongly telling me God loves me and is speaking to me through this blessing. I felt a little bit of peace but after the blessing I prayed sobbing explaining and apologizing and begging for relief. I was able to tell the evil spirits that had been plaguing my thoughts and emotions to go away and asked my Heavenly Father for angels to bare me up. I immediately felt peace enter my heart. After closing my prayer I felt the peace I had been longing for. I knew it would be okay. We ordered pizza and while eating I thought of what would give me real happiness. I wanted to do service for someone. So we packed up the car full of tools and a goal to spend under $20 to give a friend's house some curb appeal since they are trying to sell their home. So of to Walmart we went. Found awesome plants on clearance that we knew we could save and got all we needed for under $21! We headed over and re did her flower bed in the dark. I felt instantly happy. Getting dirty and making something look more beautiful and doing it for someone who has a lot on her plate made me so happy. It was honestly the best feeling. On the way home at 9:20 pm Meg says can we do more today. We all laughed. We all had felt the miracle of service and it's healing power. So last night being with Justin, my Heavenly Father and my children and service was all I needed to see light again. Which truthfully I feared would never come back. So today I truly feel 360 different from yesterday and I'm overjoyed. So thank you all for your help and prayers. Today is a good day and Heaven knows I needed one.
