Well let me just start by saying what an amazing person Stephanie Nielson is. I do not know her personally, but I follow her blog "Nie Dialouges". You can find it on the left of my blog under freinds and family. I was catching up last night on all the blogs I follow, when I came across this amazing video on Stephanie Nielson. The quick run down is that she is a plane crash survivor along with her husband, she is also a young mother of 4 children. She was severely burned in this crash 85% I believe, her husband was burnt as well 30%. I have never known somebody with so much faith in god SERIOUSLY and the best attitude around. Sure she seems to have her down moments, but she always takes the initiative to pray when she is down and it brings her back to a good place. She has made me realize almost like an "AH HA" moment, that life is honestly about living for what you believe in. It doesn't matter if others shun you because of it, because the truth is when it's all said and done it's about being happy for yourself. She also talks in this video about what it really means to her now to be a mother. I like how she says"I'm not just some lady that gets up in the mornings and makes my kids breakfast, I am their mother and I am priveleged to teach them about the gospel, and raise them as I please." I love that because it is how I feel about raising my babies. I have alot of odds against me in this ugly world to try and teach my children right from wrong. What I think may be right or wrong may not be someone elses same idea, but that is just fine.
I in the past 2 years have discovered through the gospel that there is so much more to life than just your image, looks, pleasing everybody but yourself, worrying what everybody else thinks, material things, and how much money you have. This is just to name a few, but honestly these things I wrote above all mean nothing. The main message I recieved from this video is that life can change in a second, but if you keep one thing consistent then you will get through whatever is thrown your way. I have had alot thrown my way with both my babies in the past year, and I have thanked Heavenly Father everyday for giving beautiful healthy babies. There is no way that my children's lives would have been spared without a god! So please I ask that you watch this video, and then tell me that there isn't such thing as a god that spared this couples lives, it couldn't have happened without something higher. People do not generally survive a plan crash, so you have to ask yourself how did these people. If you don't get what I have mentioned out of this video, then if nothing else it will warm your heart guaranteed.... this was my spiritual message for the week :) please click this link to watch the video, then scroll down to the video that says " My New Life" enjoy http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=e419fb40e21cef00VgnVCM1000001f5e340aRCRD
