Sometimes I feel like life is one of those dunking tanks at the carnival. And it's my turn to be in the hot seat (striped body swimsuit is a must). I'm fine sitting above life. I can see the ball head straight towards the target and then end up barely missing where it was meant to hit the hardest. The anticipation's there though. I know that when things are going too good, something will happen soon and I will get dunked. Ball after ball. One thing after another. And it happens. I'm hit right at the target. I fall straight into this tank of water. (And for analogies sake, let's just say the water's super deep.) I have to fight to keep my head above the water. And if you know me and my fear of water, you can only imagine the panic attack I would be having.
Now, I'm sure this is nothing new to anyone who is living. Because, I think this is how everyone feels at one point or another. Whether it be finances, illness, hormones..., spiritually, etc.
I just have to say that it never ceases to amaze me how Heavenly Father knows exactly what to say when I feel like I'm drowning. I have been feeling overwhelmed lately with a lot of things going on. A lot of decisions needed to be made. A lot of work to get done. I asked Matthew to give me a blessing of comfort. - Doesn't that phrase alone just make you take a huge sigh of relief?
Heavenly Father knows us. He's aware of our trials and we are never alone. It's incredible to me to know that He knows me so well. The more that I learn about myself, the more I know that He knows me better than myself. Blessings are amazing. (And in turn is the Priesthood.) Whether it be a Patriarchal Blessing, or just a simple blessing of comfort to be the buoy that's thrown your way.
Even though I'm still in the tank of water among all of my trials, I'm floating. And I can breathe.

Just keep treading. You are not alone, and I'm so grateful that you know that. Our Heavenly Father does know us better than anyone, and He is always there. We're here,too. Love you, girl.
