My Cup Runneth Over!

We got the best news today! Garlan got a great job offer at BYU!!!!!! It has been a long 6 months (exactly conference to conference) of unemployment for him and our family. We have learned soooooo much and honestly are very grateful for this trial and now the blessings that are following. The scripture that often came to mind throughout all of this is D&C 58:3-6:

 2 For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that ^akeepeth my commandments, whether in life or in ^bdeath; and he that is ^cfaithful in ^dtribulation, the ^ereward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.

 3 Ye cannot behold with your natural ^aeyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the ^bglory which shall follow after much tribulation.

 4 For after much ^atribulation come the ^bblessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be ^ccrowned with much ^dglory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.

 5 Remember this, which I tell you before, that you may ^alay it to heart, and receive that which is to follow.

 6 Behold, verily I say unto you, for this cause I have sent you—that you might be obedient, and that your hearts might be ^aprepared to ^bbear ^ctestimony of the things which are to come;

There were a lot of dark moments when we had to hold on to faith and hope because nothing else quite made sense. I'm sure many out there can relate to this feeling in some degree. But even in those moments we felt the love of the Lord and of our family and friends. A huge thank you to those who have fasted and prayed with us and for us.  We know we still have a life long full of trials to learn from and overcome but right now we are thankful to see this one come to an end and enjoy the blessings of employment.
