I had a small but very nice and impressive experience tonight. Actually I am still having it and hope the bad part will go away soon.
Nolan and I try to keep in mind the principle of Thy Will be Done. So when Lexa asks at night for Clara to stop crying, we try to tell her we need to ask for Heavenly Father to help us know how to help Clara stop crying. Well, when I was pregnant I was very sick my third trimester. I threw up a lot! and ended up in the hospital one night because of it. I was on a lot of drugs until I had Clara to help me feel better. Since then I have had this nauseous feeling come and go about every week. I haven't actually thrown up until tonight. I have had SO many people tell me to just go ahead and be sick, then I will feel better. That never happens for me! I have spent the last two and a half hours being very sick, including my stomach hurting very bad. So as I am in pain and trying to read the Ensign to distract my mind from how bad my body felt, I just started praying and praying and praying for Heavenly Father to take this feeling from me. I told Nolan I would rather have my arm cut open than have this feeling anymore. Well, the answer was easy and immediate. I have always been an admitted pop-aholic. I drink diet, but a LOT of it. The answer is that the carbonation is eating my stomach. Right now I have to make a determination to stop!!! I will probably have some if we go out once in a while, but stop buying it and drinking 5 average a day! I know that this will help my stomach heal, without drugs.
I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to pray. I know I have someone to go to when I feel completely helpless and lost. I wonder how many times I have been given these simple impressions and not listen to them. I hope I can listen harder!
