I had an interresting experience this morning. I was chatting with Heavenly Father and basically begging him to heal me and that is it such a small thing I am asking and why won't he just do it etc....? When I got a real distinct message from him. I was told very clearly that I am being very selfish and only thinking of myself and that if I lost myself in service to others I would get better faster. Now I don't know who is in charge of passing on messages to me but who ever they are, they are extremely blunt. It must be my grandmother on my dad's side.

I prefer to be delt delt with in a more loving, patient manner. Would it hurt to be coddled just a little bit? I realize it is a pretty obvious thing that most of you could have pointed out to me already but hey, I needed this lesson in this way. Sometimes you have to be smacked across the face (spiritually speaking) to get the message. Are any of you out there like that?

Well, today is our ward campout and I have lots to do so I'll see you all later! Happy prayers to you!

You are the most blunt person I know. Ya bozark. Of course you are going to get messages that way.

I wonder about losing myself in service often and wonder if that would ultimately be helpful in my healing. In fact, I believe it will. Where to start and what to do? Now, that I need to figure out.

hi, it's me! melissa c said...

I think it depends on where you are in life. In one stage, you could lose youself in the service of your children. in another, to geneology, in another in regularly visitng the temple, like weekly, In otherways, mowing the lawn each week for an elderly neighbor, or taking and elderly person to the solan each week to get her hair done or babysitting for a neighbor so she can get out once in a while. There are alot of ways. It's just getting started that's hard!
