Have you taken Elder Bednar’s challenge yet to #sharegoodness?
Brothers and sisters, what has been accomplished thus far in this dispensation communicating gospel messages through social media channels is a good beginning—but only a small trickle. I now extend to you the invitation to help transform the trickle into a flood. Beginning at this place on this day, I exhort you to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth—messages that are authentic, edifying, and praiseworthy—and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood.

Last November I suffered a miscarriage. I have experienced this type of loss a number of times but this time was different. After a few weeks I wasn’t feeling any better. I thought it was stress from having to pack up my home to move just before the holidays. January finally came and I wasn’t feeling any better. Actually I was much worse. I began to withdraw from my friends and left the house only when necessary. I lost 12 lbs in a matter of 2 weeks. I just didn’t have appetite any more.
One day I was on Facebook and I saw a post from a friend. In her post she shared a link to the blog called Simply Happy that she and her husband write. That blog was heaven sent. She shared her testimony in a poem and shared a scripture. It seemed as though she had written about me though I know that anyone suffering from depression could relate to the words she wrote. I felt as though my Heavenly Father was speaking to me through her. I reached a turning point that day. I found hope and strength that day. Soon after I sought out professional help and things began to brighten for me. I am so much better now. For a time I forgot how happy I could be but our Heavenly Father wants us to have joy. He is there for us we just need to reach out to Him.
