Merry Single Awareness Day. (A.k.a. Valentines day).

Today was a simple, but yet so very long, day. Worry and stress are slowly and painfully taking over my life. Grown ups who I talk to always say the same exact thing, "YOU don't even KNOW what stress is!". And they're probably correct. I don't know what goes on in their day-to-day life. In not sure what trials they go through. I sure as heck don't understand what in their life makes then so stressed out. But I too get stressed out. Maybe more then the average teenaged girl. But it happens and pains me.

Lately my stress has been focused on my dad. My dad has always had high blood pressure. And that's something he's been working on but can't really do anything about it. Last night he got in a sweat saying 'my heart is racing so fast'. It seemed as though he couldn't breathe. As my mom took him to the hospital about at 10 at night my siblings and got ready for bed, said our prayers, and went to sleep. I was so worried. I didn't want my brother and sister worrying either. They might've cried or got upset. And trust me, I don't know how I was keeping the tears in. I said a prayer to my father in heaven and asked him only to bring my daddy safely home. A feeling of piece and comfort quickly came over me. I was able to go to sleep.

It's amazing what happens from a little prayer. On Sunday my teacher said 'god wants us to ask him for everything! We ask for the simplest things but he is up there waiting and hoping we can ask more! He wants to give us everything! We just have to meet him half way.' and how easy is that? Saying our prayers, keeping the commandments, go to church, read our scriptures. It's all that simple and our father can give us the world in return. I have a testimony of that strongly and it's helped me through all the hard times I've been going
through.
