I Could Really Use a Wish Right Now.

We all have our wishes we need to come true.

Dear Dandelions, 11:11, shooting stars, eyelashes, wishbones, and Birthday candles.. we're counting on you.

I could tell you all about my life and its complications I've had lately, but in all reality.. I love my life, and I'm happy to be alive. I really dont have anything to wish for. I have everything I need.
Every wish will come true, it just doesn't always come in the form we're expecting it.

I've had a rough couple weeks,
I really didn't think things were gonna get any worse for me, and then they did.

I totaled my beloved car. The irony of it was that I was actually traveling 5 hours north to get the blinker repaired when I got in the wreck. I dont think I've ever been so upset about something in my life. I rear ended a car that had been stopped on the freeway because they had just rear ended the car in front of them.

But in the end, I can't help but think.. things could be worse. and everything does happen for a reason. I could have easily been very injured, or even killed, but somehow I was blessed. I'm still here, and life is good. This is only a little bump in my life, plenty of worse things will happen, and I'm gonna try my best to be ready for it.

Why the Trials?
-Trials can help you learn, be humble, and become stronger.
-Life is a test; trials are opportunities to show that you will be faithful.
-If you seek His help, the Lord can help you endure your trials well.
-Come unto Christ in your trials, and He will give you rest.

"Have you noticed that when you see someone going through a trial that you have gone through, you are more understanding and willing to help that person? Similarly, the Savior took upon Himself your trials—including your pains, sicknesses, temptations, and weaknesses—and He is perfectly compassionate and able to help. In your trials remember what He said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28)."

Alma 7:11–12

11And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12And he will take upon him death that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

-Thomas S. Monson
