Gone

Nathanael has been gone for almost 4 1/ 2 months now. Wow time sure flys by. If my calculations are right this would be the half way mark. I think this has been the longest that he has ever been apart from us (even with bootcamp). Adrian has grown a lot since he has been gone. But don't worry Nathanael he still calls you Papa when he sees your pictures....although he also calls George Lopez Papa too hahaha.

Tis but a small momment

Its amazing what things can happen in your life when you put the gospel first. For the last few days I have really had an open heart and an open mind to be able to hear the things the our savior wants me to know and to hear it with an open heart to be able to receive it and apply it in my life. So many of us work on changing others when the most important thing to do is to change ourselves. I don't know why I have this constant need to know everything. In the last few days the spirit told me not to do something because it isn't relevant...but bc I'm me I thought I had to know, and it really didn't matter and it only made me feel worse. If I would listen to that still small voice more often things would run a lot smoother. We don't always go down the path we want or we think is best, but HE knows, HE knows all things. If I would just listen life would be as has been said 'tis but a small momment.' I hope to be able to be more moldable and be the person in which HE wants me to be.

Jesus Take The Wheel

What a beautiful day it is......Sometimes we let go of what is most important due to various reasons (the reasons don't really matter because we all have different ones)...but today I have decided to "LET GO" and "Let Jesus take the wheel" (this is actually a good "letting go"). The Church and Jesus have been the center of our lives since we can remember and I know Nata would agree with me to say that we would like Him to always to be in the center. Sometimes He has moved up and down and hasn't quite been in the center but in our hearts we always want Him there. I hope by letting go and letting Him take the wheel our course will become smoother and if it becomes bumpy along the way we will know the bumps will end and smooth pavement will begin again.
