Life is hard for everyone, but when we have faith and hope because of Jesus Christ and His gospel, then we can make it through our trials. We don’t have to go through this life alone. We always have our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, to help us. I believe that we can learn from the hard experiences of others around us.

I write about every 2-3 days. I write quite a bit about my trials, especially about my struggles with having an autoimmune disease. When people read traditional poetry, they don’t really understand the story behind it or the message the poets are trying to convey. In my writing, I include a backstory that tells the story of how it came to be. Then I finish with a takeaway that demonstrates what I learned from the experience and what others can also learn.

Some of the defining moments that got me to where I am today include: my love for music and singing, my journey through many years of infertility, and years of fighting an autoimmune disease.

My parents put me in voice lessons when I was about 12 years old because they recognized the talent in me from a young age. I started singing solos in church soon after. I was in choirs for my middle school, high school and college years. I really love to share my testimony through the songs I sing.

My husband and I met in a college choir because we both love to sing. We always wanted children. We were so excited when I got pregnant about a year and a half after we got married. About a month later, we found out that the baby had died and my body was miscarrying the baby. This was one of the hardest experiences I had to through because at first I didn’t know why something that I wanted so badly was taken away from me. But through prayer, I started to feel the love of my Heavenly Father again and that this was in His plan for me.

I battle every day with an autoimmune disease. I have been to many doctors and have been on so many medications. No one really knows what is going on in my body. I am trying to heal my body naturally. Even though I deal with this every day, I still try to stay positive and have faith that some day this trial will be taken from me. I have also learned through this trial that even when our trials are not taken away from us, we can endure them if we trust in our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

These hard trials in my life have taught me to trust in my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ. I tell my story through my writing because I want others to know that they can make it through their trials with faith like I have.
