Being an instrument in His hands

Sometime ago after Katie was born I struggled with post pardom anxiety and at times lonely depression. This is not a feel sorry for Jeni posting, just read on. My mind and emotions were not my own. I felt that everyone, except for a select few friends simply left me. I have come to believe that it was because they didn't understand what I was going through and did not want to interfer. During that time I had been praying for a friend or friends to come along that I could truly relate to. Literally, I prayed for over a year and a half to be a part of something or to feel normal again. Finally, the answer. I was at Home Depot one night with Tommy and Katie. A girl from my ward was there with her family as well. I didn't really know her but she invited me and Katie to a play group. The friends that I met through play group will truly be friends for eternity. I will always be grateful that this girl reached out, responded to the spirit and answered my prayer. I believe that we can all be instruments in the hands of our Heavenly Father. Sometimes the only answer to our prayer will come through another person. Perhaps this holiday season we can become instruments and help change someone's life even if it seems simple and easy. You will never know that even inviting someone to a play group can change someone's life forever. For those of you in the play group, you know who you are, thank you! And for those of you that have been my friends for years and stuck by me during that time, you also know who you are, thank you! For those of you that are new friends or are becoming better friends, I thank you too!
