You’re Not Alone

You’re Not Alone

Here’s a little song to help you get along.

It will see you through when you’re feeling blue.

And though it’s not profound when you’re feeling down, so down,

Sing this little tune, and you’ll feel better soon.

You’re not alone, even when you’re feeling on your own,

You are loved in ways that can’t be shown; your needs are known;

You’re not alone.

And when you cry, you’re just letting go of heartache deep inside,

And tomorrow there’ll be sunshine and sky and love close by;

You’re not alone.

And we know that it’s not easy, but we know that it won’t last,

’cause one that loves you more than me is sending blessings fast.

You’re not alone, say it one more time,

“I’m not alone,”

And even when it’s hard to find the words, our prayers are heard;

We’re not alone.

You’re not alone.

I have had good days and bad days. I have had days I have gone outside and screamed at the world, days I have left Ariauna's side to go have a complete melt down and then try to gather myself together to come back and be strong by her side. I have had days where I wonder, Why Me? and Why Ariauna? I hate to admit it, but I have had days where I have had pity parties and wondered if the Lord has even heard my prayers and days where I wonder why when there are so many people praying and fasting for us including myself praying my heart out that it seems nothing can go right. She just continues to have problems and some days I feel like this poor sweet little girl deserves a break and deserves for just one little thing to go right. The last few days have been really tough on me as I have had to talk to Ariauna about losing her hair, and the meeting with the bone marrow doctors and learning that our own children are not a match. Every time I start feeling down and depressed, I continue to hear these words "You're not alone, even when your feeling on your own, you are loved in ways that can't be shown, your needs are known....You're not alone".  Even though I am human and have time's I feel like I am alone and that my prayer's are not being answered, I remind myself how many time's I have looked back in the last 4 weeks and seen only one set of footprints in the sand of my life.  I know my Savior is carrying me through this hard time right now. I know it is only because of him that I am able to get through one day at a time. I just needed to share with everyone reading this blog, that I am so grateful for my Savior and for him helping me during this most difficult time of my life. I can not imagine trying to make it through this on my own. I know he is carrying me right now, and for this I am grateful!
