I think the Lord wants us to be as gentle with ourselves as we are with our own children. And I know your mom would want that, too.

A great and exquisitely honest post, Michelle. Thanks.

One of the hardest things in life is to love and accept ourselves. If you’re a perfectionist, the task is even harder. There is no trick to do it. It is a spiritual journey unique to each individual. I wish it were easier. I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you are on the right track. Hang in there.

This was lovely Michelle. In an aching sort of way. Thank you for being willing to share your journey.

Beautiful.

I find that it’s rather easy to talk about the Atonement. I know the doctrine. But it’s so, so hard to really let that change my heart — particularly the way I view myself.

It’s also hard to come to the realization of how much I really need the Atonement, how weak I really am.

But I’m starting to feel that that IS the plan — to let myself need Him and let Him carry me in spite of — and perhaps because of — my weakness.

Michelle, yet another of your posts hit me right where I needed it. Is it January that brings our weaknesses so strongly to our hearts and minds? I’ve been drowning in them. And yet, I’m reminded again and again and again that I just need to let God love me. Your words were a healing balm for my struggling and oh so weak soul.

It always astonishes me just how many tissues I can use – it always seems like an awful lot. The same as tears – surely I can’t cry that many?

Sometimes the sadness is what helps me the most, to know that Christ was a man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief, and actually does know the extent of our pain.

Thank you for sharing some of your pain, in such a tender and beautiful way, to better help us let the love (and thus God) in. I’ll be thinking of you today =)
