Wow, just take a minute and watch this video it is AMAZING it just pulls at your heart to see how much she has went through and her faith to move forward with the help of Jesus Christ. You might want a box of tissues I know I sure did. Here is some of the things Stephanie Nielson has said that I really loved.
"I am not my body"
"I pray and get answers and I do it"
"Beauty is not everything, I am so grateful to be here on earth and have the opportunity to be a mother and do the things I love and enjoy. I view my role as more divine something more not just a mother that wakes up and makes her kids food, its a mother who enriches and teaches about the gospel of Jesus Christ its a privilege and I see it more of a privilege than anything. To me beauty and motherhood are one they are the same thing. There is a plan for us and its a plan that will ultimately give us the greatest joy and happiness that we will ever experience and it is only possible through Jesus Christ."
"I am grateful for this trial and its a blessing even though its hard and its challenging and it will be for awhile."
"It is our spiritual nature to turn to our God who gave us life and who has given us this mortal experience to turn to him for or to thank him for the happy times or to pray for his help in the hard times."
"I think my relationship with heavenly father before was really good and it still is really good but spiritually now I have a better sense of who I am what my divine purpose is, what I am doing here on earth, why I am still here. Life has a different meaning to me than it did before."
"There are moments in my life where I feel the spirit is tapping at my heart to remind me why I still mortally exist."
Elder Holland said when suffering we may in fact be nearer to God then we have ever been in our entire lives. The Lord has promised us I will go before your face I will be on your right hand and on your left my spirit shall be in your hearts and mine angels round about you to bound you up" That is an everlasting declaration of Gods love and care for us including and perhaps especially in times of trouble.
