I often suffer little bouts with depression...it's an ongoing battle. Today a was battling it again (starting yesterday) when I sat down to do my scripture study. I've been doing a program that our R.S. put together called 28 days closer to Christ and today was a themed study on Hope. It took me a while because I kept dwelling on how I was without hope. Near the end I broke down crying and sought for help in Prayer. I started journaling my thoughts and feelings when I realized that every day I have moments of Joy playing with my children, all I need to do is cherish the little moments and the rest will be easier to handle...
It's amazing how the Holy Spirit works, as soon as I had journal this I knew it was true. God answered my prayer and brought hope again into my life...can I just say I love My Savior and I love his gospel. I know it is true, and that God answers prayer.
From now on I cherish the little moments

Thanks for the spiritual thought! I didn't know that you suffered with depression sometimes. I have had those times in my life too. Please call me when your having a bad day, if it would help to have someone around I would love to be there for you!
Kirsten, you are so awesome. You were always the first person to notice the positive things I remember when we were younger. You are a great example! We talked a lot in my major at BYU about focusing on the little day-to-day moments that may seem mundane but that are some of the most important parts of our lives. We also talked a lot about the prosaic family and prosaic love, which is how couples and families build lasting love from the little moments of their lives. Thanks for reminding me to focus on it!
Kirst! I love you! You are always such a wonderful example and inspiration to me. How I wish we lived closer! I am going to try to focus on the little moments too. It's easy to stay focused on the crazy, bad, frustrating moments! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
