Life is NOT perfect…We are NOT perfect and that's Okay!

I have learned that life is NOT perfect… not anywhere near perfect; to be
honest, it's MESSY and at times so very hard for EVERYONE!

Growing up,  I wondered why wasn't my life perfect like this girl or that guy
or that family… you get the idea. Because, on the outside, their lives looked
perfect, and so I judged my life on what their life APPEARED to be.  I didn't
see the behind the scene lives… I didn't see neglect, abuse, arguments,
health problems, mental stresses and the like.  I wasn't looking deep
enough. I was young;  I had not experienced enough life at that point to
have even a little bit of understanding in what life was really like, for all of us
on this earth.

I have grown so much since those days,  I have experienced life at it's finest
and I've experienced it at it's worst. I have found that we all do the very best
that we can, at the time, we are going thru each situation. Sometimes we do
a good job of that, sometimes we don't. Life is a real growing experience.
We are here to prepare to return home to our Father in Heaven. Every experience
we have here is a teaching moment, and I believe that He doesn't expect us to be
perfect at handling them. He sent His Son, as a Savior for us, for that exact
reason. He simply expects us to grow and learn from those experiences
and mistakes and to ultimately grow closer to Him and his Son, and to become
better people in the process.

Life is NOT perfect… We are NOT perfect and… THAT'S OKAY!

What are Letters from Heaven?

About a year or so ago, I had a dream. A dream that pierced my very soul and I still have not been able to get it out of my mind. I felt very strongly that I needed to share this concept with others, but I have struggled trying to figure out just exactly how I was to do that. In my dream, there was a child, to start with and then there proceeded to be more and more people… falling slowly down upon them from the sky were envelopes filled with letters, in essence… Letters from Heaven. It was awhile ago, that I was sitting in church and one of the most amazing ladies I know, said that the scriptures were our letters from home(our heavenly home), to support us, to answer our questions, to help us get thru the tough times and it was then that I began to understand my dream a bit more, and I started to formulate what I should do. 

This little blog is mainly for me. Writing heals my soul. Someone special to me, gave me a journal years ago and thus began my love of writing, of putting down my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams, and even my disappointments, but most importantly, it's where my first Letters from Heaven began to emerge, as I recorded the feelings and the things I was learning from my life experiences. I will share some of those thoughts here; my Letters from Heaven, in hopes that as I share, I will not only continue to grow but that I can inspire you to look for your own Letters from Heaven… in the everyday experiences you are having. Those Letters from Heaven are there for us… we just simply need to check the mail each day to find them.
