Sharing the Gospel

Let me start this with it has been 11 months since I was on my own blog. I really should do it more. I haven't even looked at my friends blogs in that long. I guess it has been easier to just be on Facebook.

I am in the Pathways program through BYU-Idaho. This has been a great program that has given me great strength in my growth with the gospel. This week instead of teaching someone within my house or talking to people at work about school I have decided to make a blog post.

This week in class we went over several chapters in the Book of Mormon but what stuck out the most was Enos. His soul hungered. What does this mean? To me it is that he was struck with the feeling of he had to make that change so that he could go to to Heaven and be with his family forever. He was forgiven of his sins based off his faith. He did not need to see the Lord or have proof of him he just knew that he would be ok and be able to preach to his people and get things right.

The big thing is he went to the Lord in prayer. This is so powerful. He prayed for a day and night. He knew that his life was not right and had to have this "confession" with the Lord. We all know that the Lord knows and sees all but he knew he needed to make things right. We are taught to go to the Lord in prayer. We start our day with prayer and end our day with prayer. This is important, we need to thank the Lord for the day before us and then we need to welcome the challenges or trials that may have occurred through the day and figure out how we are going to get through them and be thankful that we have the Lord with us to help us get through these things. We don't have to understand everything right away but with time we can get the understanding as to why things are how they are. Answers don't always come fast. Enos was blessed that he was able to get his forgiveness in that short time. Enos made the changes he needed to make to become a great person before the Lord so that he could rejoice in the mortal becoming the immortal when the time is right.

mobile blogger is not my friend today

I have forgotten my blog...I missed a whole YEAR!!

Well my friend Emily updated her blog and linked it to her facebook page...it got me thinking...hey you haven't blogged in forever...well I missed a whole year plus of blogging...that means I missed a year plus of friends updates!! I've got some reading to do!!

I've been busy...

So its been a bit since I last updated...

Lee has been called to be Elders Quorum President...

Stevie has gained her birth weight back and has yet to gain enough to put her in cloth...grrr! She'll grow into them!

Both kids are well into school...Rachele has already forgot a few things and got in trouble...she is learning that she needs to responsible for her stuff. Kenny has lots of friends...some from preschool last year...to include the "bad" kid...I feel kind of bad for the little guy he has yet to have a good day at school...he is always on red...the "bad" kid not Kenny...just want to make sure that was clear.

Me...I'm a feeding machine...we had a rough night last night...upset tummy and the wrong blanket...but mommy got it fixed...still took Stevie some time to fall asleep and stay asleep in her bed but she did it...I'm going to try to make a few more soft blankets...found some fleece in my fabric stash...Strawberry shortcake, duckies, University of Michigan, gonna flannel back them...might post some pictures if I have time to do them...

Baby note...

So Stevie is 9 days old...she is nursing like a champ. I had to order some covers for cloth diapers that will fit her skinny legs...some come in today the rest on saturday. Once those come in I might do a cloth diaper post...then again maybe not.

She had her post discharge appointment on Tuesday...
      weight: 6.15       25%
      length: 20"          60%
      head circumference: 14       60%


Because she hadn't gained her birth weight back and is considered premature being born at 36w6d...we had to go back today for a weight check....7.2 she is getting closer to her birth weight but not there yet so we have to go back next week for another weight check to make sure she is still on track with her weight gain.

Baby Stevie

She is here all 7 pounds 6 ozs of her 20.5 inches long...so happy!!! Only 3 weeks early...

Today...

So as I sit at work on my break I am thinking about my wonderful hubby at home with our kids and me at work on our 12 year wedding anniversary...crazy that it's been 12 years already...

Happy 12th honey...here's to many more!!!
