This week has been a challenge. Little Girl has definitely entered toddlerhood, and every 5 minutes, as she is throwing another tantrum, I struggle to see the Lord's hand in my life. I love this dear little person, and wonder how I can help her, how I can keep my patience (and my sanity). When people talked about the "terrible twos" and how difficult toddlers can be, I didn't understand. I understand now. I also understand how difficult it must be for them to learn to cope with everything, including emotions that might seem scary or overpowering. I see the frustration of not having the motor development to accomplish a task. I see how curious she is, and how I have to be SO vigilant to keep her from hurting herself. YIKES!
But luckily, I also have the Gospel, which I can teach my daughter. I'm glad Jenny posted this on her blog because I needed to remember that I see the Lord's hand in my life every day!

I remember a time when I felt the hand of the Lord in my life. As you know, I have my challenges. One night driving to a missionary meeting,I was contemplating this particular challenge I've experienced more than I would like. It was raining a bit. The rain and sun produced the most beautiful rainbow in which clearly the words--the Lord keeps his promises entered my heart. A well needed reminder that keeps me going.
I'm so glad I have you to give me a heads up about what's coming up in the next few months. As weird as it sounds, thanks for sharing your frustrations and worries. Makes me feel normal knowing I'm not alone!!!
