All of us, at some point in our life will be in "critical condition", where we will be barely hanging in there. Whether it's physically, emotionally or spiritually. She shares her beautiful testimony of the Savior and his role in her life at such a critical time.
I have been reflecting on when I was in "critical condition" emotionally. I never thought I would be grateful for that time of my life or that anything good would come out of it. But i have been so truly blessed, in ways that I never thought possible. They were the kinds of blessings that I never thought of as real blessings. At this time in my life I depended on the Savior, the Spirit and my Heavenly Father. I am so grateful to have a time in my life when I KNEW that the Savior was with me. He was there until I recovered and is still there.
My life stopped and the world just kept moving forward. It was so hard to look around and think that no one cared and that everyone else was so happy. My world stood still, and in that moment all I knew was that I was not alone. I am so grateful for this time in my life and will never forget it. It has made me a better person and has made me understand the atonement and our purpose here so much more clear.
Now that I have made a "full recovery" and am living a dream I am so grateful. Grateful for friends and family who helped me, grateful for my daughters who gave me reason to move forward, grateful for a testimony and faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I am grateful to have Chad, who has been so good for me and the girls, and to have an eternal family. I feel like I have come full circle-and more! Life is good.

I have been thinking a lot about her as well - thanks for sharing!!!
I read her blog as well and I am inspired by her...and I am inspired by you! You have been a wonderful testimony of God's faithfulness girlfriend.
I want to add that in my life I have felt many times like the world is going on without me and I just need encouragement and then I find out that someone else I know and love was feeling the same as me and felt I encouraged them.....We never know our impact and when our light is shining, even if it is dim at times. :)
It's impressive to me that you have the GUTS to share such touching and personal experiences on your blog. I mean it's a journal, right? So why not! But being able to share it with others is awesome! Thanks!
