2008 was the hardest year of my life. That year I became a widow with 6 kids and was completely overwhelmed. It felt like I was on a roller coaster ride and just wanted to get off!My mom taught me to serve when the going gets tough, so I decided in December 2008 to sign up for something I had always wanted to do- a humanitarian mission. SO many people had given to me the past 6 months and this is one little way to try to pay the world back.

April 2009 Guatemala City, Guatemala.

In May 2009 I went to Guatemala. What sweet, humble people! After a few days I felt so far away from home and couldn’t communicate with my kids and the man I was falling in love with. I was going crazy inside.My eyes kept filling up with tears and I wondered how I was going to make it another 8 days. I had been through so much the past 9 months and it had been a tough burden to carry. I was at the lowest I had ever been. I finally decided that I needed to go pray by myself and let some of these emotions out. I went in a bathroom and got down on my knees and cried. I thought, “Here I am in a country far away from home on a bathroom floor in Guatemala, but my Heavenly Father knows where I am and can hear me.” I begged Him to help me be able to sort through all of this that I never expected would happen to me. After I was done throwing all my pain out there I stayed on my knees and listened. In just moments I felt a great peace come over me and I heard 4 words that I will never forget,

“STAND UP AND LIVE”

What a beautiful answer to prayer. It lifted me. I need to stand up and move forward. I need to keep smiling. Get up from being hit from behind- wipe off my knees and stand up tall. I can do this.So I did. I stood up with a renewed energy. I will live life to the fullest and stand up for good.

Now I realize that others are STANDING UP in their own way. I want to share their stories with mine. Please know that some of the names and personal information have been changed to protect their privacy.
