Light in the Storm

There are periods in my life where I feel burnout and realize that the natural me is hidden somewhere inside, but burried so deeply that I struggle to know that person again. These spurts can be short lived, or they can be long lasting. Usually they don't last long and the joys are easily felt and over ride the turmoil that was causing distress.
But for me, this has lasted a lot longer than normal and I have realized there is a need for change. When I started to evaluate the course of my life and what has been causing displeasure and even heavy mood swings, I came to realize how much more important it is to find the blessings in life. However small they may be, they are there. And in doing so, I'm able to see how truly merciful a loving Father in Heaven really is. It makes me grateful for all the great blessings of people I'm surrounded by.
This is Father's greatest blessing to me. He has given me amazing people who can listen, teach, and love me. Who give me an opportunity to serve and find joy in many ways I never dreamed were possible. The light in the storm.
