God is constant 🙏🏻🥰

 New post, you don’t wanna miss! 👇🏻♥️🙏🏻🥰

It’s been a while since a new post has come to my mind, but the other nights as I was watching one of my favorite movies, there’s a part where this basketball player gets injured, goes through rehab with a physical therapist who pushes him to be better, believes in him, and is there for him. He starts getting better and is able to play in the playoff game. He starts playing but he’s just missing shots and letting players pass him left and right. He’s discouraged and upset at himself, so he takes a break and as he sits on the bench feeling defeated. Then his amazing physical therapist comes over and says to him, “you are playing like this knee is going to fail you, but it won’t.” She says “anything you need to do, anything you want to do, you CAN do. You won’t fail.”

Immediately the thought “God won’t fail you Lyssa”. Popped into my head and brought tears to me eyes 🥲❤️

There’s been so many good things that I’m so grateful for. I have a wonderful spouse, loving families on both sides, and great friends. ☀️ Not to mention so many other blessings.

There have been a couple rough nights filled with hard emotions that have come flooding back. Emotions that I thought were gone.. emotions that I thought were healed.. but weren’t. I’ve realized that emotions of any kind.. come and go unexpectedly. They’re hard to experience and even harder to face. 

Through it all, I am reminded that my Father in heaven is ALWAYS there. That unlike the disappointments and trials of life that come and go, friends that may or may not stay, jobs that aren’t guaranteed-that God is the constant in my life that will always be there for me. (2 Nephi 27:23) 

He knows my worth, my heart, and my intent in EVERY aspect of my life. He knows what keeps me up at night, what my weaknesses are, and what replays in my mind. He knows ME. He knows what makes me happy, what brings me joy, and what can heal my heart. ♥️ 

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said "So while we work and wait together for the answers to some of our prayers, I offer you my apostolic promise that they are heard and they are answered, though perhaps not at the time or in the way we wanted. But they are always answered at the time and in the way that an omniscient and eternally compassionate parent should answer them. My beloved brothers and sisters, please understand that He who never sleeps nor slumbers cares for the happiness and ultimate exaltation of His children above all else that a divine being has to do. He is pure love, gloriously personified, and Merciful Father is His name." ☀️🙏🏻♥️
