I stand taller on my knees....

So...yes it is true i have been converted into a blogger! Something i really never thought i would get into, but here I am! I am new at this so bear with me. :)....Today while I was on my way to church i heard a song on the sounds of sabbath and in this song the lyrics..."I stand taller on my knees.." were sang. No words had hit me harder than these in such a long time. How can an oxymoron be so true and so valid?! I had never thought of it this way, but as i sat and thought about it nothing could have made more sense. They always say when life gets hard fall to your knees....so wouldn't that be a form of weakness some may say?? Of course not, in fact it's the complete opposite. For one to surrender their "pride" and to fall to their knees asking for the Lord's help makes them taller in so many others' eyes and the Lords. As I thought about it all and the times I had knelt down in prayer to ask the Lord for help I realized i had never felt stronger in my life than in those particular times. I knew he was there listening and was willing to help and it was always then i was standing taller with confidence ready to face any adversity. That's when i thought about Emma Smith...I hold her in such high esteem. No woman stands taller to me than Emma Smith, and why some might ask? Didn't she fall away some might question...but even so what wife/mother/daughter can go through such trials and endure them all? I'll tell you, it's one who knew that all she had to do is fall to her knees and ask for help and strength, one who was willing to be humbled and to set aside all pride. Without her faith in prayer and the Lord 100 percent on her side, her trials would have been nearly impossible to face....what an amazing woman. I also read this Mormon ad the other day that said "send a knee-mail". How clever right?? Hmmm maybe the Lord is telling me i need to be praying a lot more or maybe he's just strengthening my testimony of prayer even more. Well seeing as how it's Sunday i figured my post could be a little more spiritual today :), but i just believe those lyrics 100 percent with my whole heart and can testify with every fiber in being that through prayer and faith we do stand taller each and every day. :) What a blessing right!
