People Are Good

Lately things have been a little crazy with my family.  Actually, it's more like 'turn your world upside down' crazy.  I don't want to go into too many details of what's happening, but it's been really hurtful.  And it's hard. 
That being said, I am still so grateful.  I have the most amazing support system anyone could ever ask for.  I have priesthood leaders who care about me and have my best interests at heart.  I have a best friend who has listened to me cry over the phone countless times, always very patiently and with limitless compassion.  I have other best friends who don't know what's going on, but can tell always when something is wrong and know when to push and when to just let me be.  I have amazing extended family members who are so full of love and light.  I have mentors who never hesitate to give me the benefit of their experience and wisdom in a thoughtful, tender-hearted way.  I have the best baby brother.  He has become so mature, and can always make me smile.  I have the best older brother who goes out of his way to protect me and offers me the best council.  I have a mom who is a pillar of strength.  Most importantly, I have my Savior Jesus Christ, and my Heavenly Father.  They are in control and They will make sure that things work out the way they should.  My Heavenly Father loves me unconditionally and has made it clear to me that, whatever happens, I will be ok, and my family will be ok. 
Yeah, things are hard right now.  Yeah, it really sucks.  But imagine what it would be like with out all the help I've been given...God is good!
