I was thinking about last year again and every thing that had happend. There was at one point where it seemed my life had completely fell apart...again. I felt so lost, confused and so very alone. I was a wreck! When I feel that way I have be outside. I can't be cooped up inside...so in those kind of cases, on those kinds of days...I go running. Not the short runs I tend to do but a real run, a long run. That day I just took off and I ended up at the temple. The one place where I can simply stand on the grounds and feel a bit better about life. I sat down on one of the benches outside and just prayed and prayed and prayed and then I started crying (and yes I did feel embarrassed but there wasn't anything I could do to stop those blasted tears!). I had my head down and I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I looked up and there was this lady standing there, she asked if I was okay and if there was anything she could do for me. I felt silly and tried to mumble a "NO, I"m okay. Thank you though". She was so sweet and it kinda took me by surprise the overwhelming love I felt at that moment. She asked me if I needed a hug and again I was surprised when I answered yes. Lol. She hugged me and whispered in my ear that she knew what I was feeling and that I was at the right place and Heavenly Father loved me. I cried on her shoulder for a minute and then thanked her. I will never forget that day. Everything seemed to be going wrong until then. I can't even begin to describe what a blessing it was for me that she was willing to step out and be so kind! It was EXACTLY what I needed....
a HUG.
