We all have a Purpose
We all really do have a purpose in life. When I say life I mean our eternal life. I heard this time and time again not fully understanding. I always thought it meant just coming to earth, getting a body, overcoming trials and returning to our Heavenly Father. That is true, but it goes much deeper than that. I now think I am starting to fully understand part of Kambers purpose and my purpose. Kamber has touch more lives than I feel I will ever know. She has changed me undoubtedly. I don't think this change would have happened had these events not occurred. Or maybe they would not have been as powerful as they are. Kamber is a great missionary. This is her purpose. She is a missionary in all things not only in just teaching the gospel. She stands for everything good. What a beautiful example we have from a little girl. If we all could be like little children how wonderful life would be. So next time you look at your children or any little child remember they to have a great purpose in lifes eternal realm. They in fact may be your teacher of greater things. I know this is true in our family. Our special children are our teachers in life!

Thanks for posting this. My Son has been driving me NUTS today with his constant whining and fit throwing. Reading this post helps me stand back and remember that no matter how hard my Child can be and how trying these experiences are on my Husband and I, our Son is here for the same purpose we are and we are the only ones that are going to be able to teach him what he needs to know until the time he is old enough to learn and search for these things himself.
Your posts really do help, please keep them coming !
Jen -
Kamber has totally touched our lives, even though we were never able to meet her in person. Our eveydays lives have changed so dramatically since July. I am now looking at each day with my children as a special gift and because of your willingness to share your testimony daily - I am also growing more spiritually aware of the importance of Temple work and that families are and will be forever. Thank you Jen! You are so awesome!
I too am grateful for your honest daily postings, Jen. I think about you and Kamber SEVERAL times a day... Literally. When my days are crazy and I think I'm about to burst, my thoughts go to Kamber. How much you love and long to hold her again. I just take a deep breath and am instantly reminded that thru their craziness, I do love them. I do love that they are strong-willed and have minds of their own... Even if it isn't at the most "conveniet" times. I wouldn't want them to be any other place than with me. So thank you for that. I have taken their presence in my home and in my life for granted too many times and Kamber reminds me not to do so. Life is so precious and I would eternally regret not charishing my babies while I do have them since I have no guarentee when they will return home to our Heavenly Father.
My oldest, Brooklin (she's 5), just saw me looking at your blog and said, "Mom, are you going to cry again?" What can I say, my heart is with you. :0)
i love this post! it made me think about how sometimes i lose my patience with brynlee and get so frustrated when she does listen. i need to chill out and think about her purpose in life and what she is trying to teach me.
