Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want.
This quote is on my friends blog. Time is getting close to Braden's 1st birthday. As I try to ignore it I cant. I think I will forever think about him this time of year. When his birth mom changed her mind we were devastated for many reasons. We worried so much for his welfare. Now he is in foster care and believe it or not it brings peace to my heart. I know if his Mom does not get her act together he is young enough to be adopted by a loving family. Not our family (due to many reasons) I have faith he will be loved and taken care of. He still is the child we lost but we did learn a lot. I learned so much about myself. My love grew deeper and stronger for my husband. I have learned at a deeper level to trust in the Lord. I have learned who my true friends are. The ones who cried with me and let me lose it for a while and did not judge. I learned to talk more about my feelings and most of all I learned...Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want. I have heard several times the saying "I am thankful for MY trials cause I wouldn't want anyone else's". The Lord knows each of us and know's what we can handle. In the beginning I felt like I could not handle it. Now I know I can handle it and just as the answer He gave me in one of my many prayers "it will be okay" it is okay. I am thankful.

I was just thinking about the same thing this morning (not Braden, but the lessons you're referring to).
this sounds so cliche- but I seriously don't know where I'd be without the gospel. It certainly doesn't take away our problems, but it definitely helps us handle them. amen, sista.
I'm glad you are more at peace with things. I don't see darth vader just your white bra. :-)
I just took some pictures in Co. of me in a brown shirt and my bra is showing on all of them. Too funny! You look great Darla.
