Today was Noelani's 4th Birthday Party. I must say that everything went well.
It makes me a little sad to think my baby girl is growing up so fast. I want to protect her from all the pain in the world.
I have accepted what happened to me happened for a reason. It made me stronger, it made me into the person I needed to be. I heard this in church today and it gave me a sense of purpose and strength.
By Joseph’s own testimony, the sufferings of Joseph—physical, mental, and emotional agonies—had been allowed by God so that Joseph could fulfill God’s plan: to save many lives. “But as for you [Joseph’s brothers who had sold him into slavery many years previously], ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20).
I take strength in the idea that my suffering is to help others. Even an act so vile can do some good in this world.
