I do have much to be thankful for, and really do look forward to this time of year, so that I can reflect on what my Heavenly Father has given me over the past year.
These past few days have been very hard on me, as I am still struggling each and every time a certain visitor comes around each month. I really beat myself up over it, and really wonder why we have such a difficult time getting pregnant. I know that I have to trust in the Lord and in his timing, but it doesn't make it any easier.
I know that my testimony hasn't been where I need it to be, and where the Lord needs it to be, and I have been working on that. I have been really trying to be diligent in saying my morning and evening prayers. I have also been trying to read from the scriptures daily, along with family scripture study too. As I have begun to do this, my testimony has been strengthened I can feel the love that Heavenly Father and our Savior have for each of us. I still have a ways to go, but I can and do feel his love for me.
I am truly grateful for the things that our Savior has given us. I have so much to be grateful for.
I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost who helps lead us and direct us in the paths that we need to be on. I am grateful for my baptismal and temple covenants, and for the chance to renew these covenants weekly. I am grateful for the many family and friends that fast and pray for us on a continual basis. You may never know how your faith, and prayers have helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I look forward to this time of year, as our thoughts turn more to the Savior and what he has given us. I love going to the temple and feeling the love that he has for each of us. I am planning to make weekly trips in to the temple, and have set aside a special day that I will do this.
I bear witness that Jesus is the Christ, and that we can all be saved, if we obey by his precepts. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and I know that I can feel the truthfulness of it, as I read from it daily. I love it!!!!! There is no doubt in my mind that this gospel isn't true. I know it with all my heart, and I know that He hears and answers our prayers.
I am so grateful for all I have been given in my life. In these things I testify, that I know that this church is true, and that Heavenly Father has prophets and apostles to lead us and guide us through these days. I love my Savior with all my heart, and thank him daily for all that I have been given.

Natalie, I know EXACTLY how you feel about not getting pregnant. It is such a hard long road when you want it so badly and everyone around you is. It was so hard when we did fertility and all that stuff even artificial insemination and it didn't work, I was soooo devastated. My faith wavered and I blamed God, but I knew it was wrong but I was angry and mad, but now I know it was all a trial of faith, and patience. It makes us stronger and closer to our Heavenly Father. Seriously go to a foot zoner, that is what I did and we got pregnant. Plus cut out all Wheat, I know that sounds so crazy and hard but it worked, I cut it out completely and then Dave did and we got pregnant. Just trying to give some advice that helped for us. Hope it all works out for you guys, You deserve it!
