After the Trial of my Faith

I was amazed at how the Spirit, or Holy Ghost, can help me to learn the same lesson from several different sources.  I learned it while Morning Glory read to me about Lorenzo Snow this morning, and I learned it again when I found out that today's Book of Mormon study was one of kmy favorite chapters about faith and hope: Ether 12.

I have had several miscarriages in the last few years, and the last few have been after very strong feelings about the children waiting to come to me.  It has been so confusing, and yet I have tried to continue in faith, and in hope, without understanding.  I will not give up.  I don't feel as confused now.  Even if I have  misunderstood, or misinterpreted the inspirations I think I have felt, My Heavenly Father knows the intent of my heart and he also knows the strength of my faith in Him. 

My greatest desire is for my faith to continue to grow so I will only desire to do HIs will instead of my own.

"If someone told you by digging long enough in a certain spot you would find a diamond of unmeasured wealth, do you think you would begrudge time or strength, or means spent to obtain that treasure? … If you will dig in the depths of your own hearts you will find, with the aid of the Spirit of the Lord, the pearl of great price, the testimony of the truth of this work.” (Daughters in my Kingdom, chapter 4)
