Testimony almost

Today was Fast and Testimony meeting. I kept thinking all week how it had been such a long time since I had gotten up to bear my testimony in Sarcrament Meeting. I always use the excuse that I can't leave 4 kiddos on a bench alone and that since Colby always gets to bear his testimony that is sufficient for our family. While I was sitting listening to others bear their testimonies, I thought that maybe today was my day. Then, a sweet brother behind me said that he would hold my baby for me if I wanted to get up and bear my testimony. I thought hey this definintely means that it is my turn. Well when I was just getting the courage to do it, Hannah spit up all over both of us. By the time I got us both cleaned up there was 10 minutes left. I wasn't going to let it get me out of it. But, there was never a break between testimonies and the line of those who were getting up to bear theirs. So, I didn't make it. I have no shame or embarrassment to post my testimony for all to read it... so here is what my testimony would have been today.
I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me! He knows me. He hears me when I pray to Him and He forgives me when I repent of my ever present mistakes. I loved that someone said today that He knows what we want in life, but He also knows what we need. I needed to hear that today! For, sometimes life takes turns that we don't want it to take, but it is just what we need.
I know that Jesus is my Savior. He is who made it possible to be with my family FOREVER! I know that we belong to His true church here on this earth,
I know the Book of Mormon is true. It is so fun to read together as a family. I love seeing a 7 year old read ahead to see how the story ends so that he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow.
I am so very blessed, and I know that it is all from my Heavenly Father that loves me!
