Time will tell...

This short entry stems from the thoughts of my mom's most recent post where she relates a story of trust from a toddler in her auntie to the trust and faith we must place in our Father in Heaven.

"I had this same thought today (without the eloquent words) during my presidency meeting... We worked on our situation and then closed with a prayer, my thoughtful Primary president prayed for my family and the life choices that need to be made. I crumbled in tears... My first thought was "I DID NOT want to go to Yelm 2nd ward, I knew I'd hate it there." I found myself in a mess of sobbing at the thought of possibly leaving all that I have come to adore... Oooohh how our father knows best. Then the inspiration came (or peace) "maybe I don't want to go now, and yes the transition will be tough, but maybe it will be the best place of all." where along the path of life did I lose my faith in the Lord's plan for me? or us? The answer to my prayers came today in the form of a peaceful feeling that told me, "it will all be ok." and the good part is... I believe it.

-I also finished a good book today that brought me a feeling of empowerment for my future.
-I installed a second row of shelves in my closet for storage (which I LOVEEE!!)
-Shelves in my craft/office are in and doing a beautiful job at organizing the Yoli in there.
-Saw an amazing Magic show at the YOLI BBQ, spent time with friends, had a zip line adventure (I'll tell you that one another day)
-landscaping is becoming clear, roses are deadheaded, bushes removed, dead shrubs cut out.
-car washed, lawn mowed, edged, (thank you my dear) :) xo
-girls night tonight, had a blast, had some laughs, enjoyed my cherished friendships!
- got some sun, while sipping lemonade and reading a good book.
-played with my kids
-had a presidency meeting
-signed up a new distributor in YOLI- WAHOO.. :)

It's been a good week of productivity, self improvement, love, friendship, and just moving forward to living out my goals and dreams.

Hi Jen,
Because of your post in response to my post I've been up since 3:00. I already hate it that I have so many kids too far to drop in on, and I find that I have a ways to go in trusting Heavenly Father myself. No, that's no accurate. I DO trust, but I just feel sad when changes bring heart ache. I guess that's normal and to be expected, but I resist. You'll still come to family dinners? (I fear I will look just like Taylor's picture this afternoon) Love you
