Yesterday was a good day! I am again so grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to be a mother to two wonderful children. My prayers where answered again as he gave me patients and kindness towards them. I did have my moments where I lost my temper but the Lord helped me to gain control and handle things properly. As I think about the events that have taken place in the last six months, my mind is wowed. I had no idea what lay ahead for us, but for once in my life I put my faith in my Heavenly Father. I told him I will go where you want me to go to Lord, I will be who you want me to be. And it has paid of divadends. I was so worried about getting a teaching job but the Lord has eased those worries. I know that atleast for this year I am suppose to be at home, teaching my little ones. That is where I am needed and where the Lord wishes for me to be. So I will be there. I have again had my moments where I worry that he will never want me to be in a classroom, teaching. I feel less of a person when I hear other women talking about their careers, I still have that want to be something great outside of the home. However, in silent moments the Lord always reassures me that my day will come. That he gave me those talents and desires for a reasons and one day he will put them to good use, of this I am sure. I thank the Lord daily for those reassuring moments, and for the place my life is in now. Today we are going swimming with our cousin Paislee and Amanda. Porter is really excitied and it will be a good day of that I am sure!
Today I read a conference talked entitled Tender Hearts and Helping Hands. I would like to remember two parts of this talk, the first goes, " The Savior asks us to "succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees." The Second, "We must reach out to all mankind they are all sons and daughters of God our Eternal Father, and He willhold us accountable for what we do concerning them....May we bless humanity with an outreach to all, lifting those who are downtrodden and oppressed, feeding and clothing the hungry and the needy extending love and neighborliness to those about us who may not be part of this church." -May we see the image of Christ in everyone. A great example of this is my dad, he judges no one and serves everyone. He has showed me countless examples of this throughout my life, for that I am thankful.
Today I am Grateful For: this journal so that I can get all my crazy thoughts and feeling out on paper. I am thankful for my desire to reconnect with my Heavenly Father and find my testimony again. I am thankful for the great examples I have been surronded with. They teach me daily how to conduct true service and how to show true Christ like love. I am thankful for extra long cuddles from my little man this morning.
