This is a Trial

Heavenly Father tests us for reasons, this we all know. It seems like when we are tested its more like a final exam, full of hard decisions to make. Lately things seem to be tumbling down and its hard to get out of the rubble. I know everything always works out and usually for the better. It definately takes hard circumstances to realize that anything and everything can change without any warning. I personally try to stay optimistic about everything. I pray every night thanking our Father in Heaven for the wonderful gifts and talents he has bestowed upon me. I dont purposely try to take advantage of him, I know everything happens because thats what is supposed to be. We are in a testing period, our mortal life is merely that. For some of us, we will get to live in Celestial glory for all time and eternity. For others mortality is the only happiness that will come into their lives, or so they think. I humble myself.

Heavenly Father does see your good deeds

So yesterday was Sunday of course. I went to church by myself, Josh had 2 huge finals due. I thought, "oh man this is gonna be a rough day". Surprisingly church itself was great. All of my students did amazing. Even Miss Mallory who I have to wrestle with and tell sit down and tell her to shush. I really didn't have to say much to. At one point she even voluntarily held the door for everyone. I was really proud of her. At the end of church I had walked the kids to their parents and I went back to Mallory's mom after dropping every kid off. I told Mallory's mom and dad, " I just wanted to tell you Mallory was so good today I was so proud of her. During sharing time they pulled her name from the sticks first and got a treat and I thought she definately deserved it. She even held the door for everyone." I can tell her parents were so happy with her, they smiled super big. Wendy said, " That is great, I don't get to hear that enough".

Inspiring Words from my Husband

"Yet another day. You never know when life will expire. You only get once change to live, and one chance to do your best.



When you feel down, just remember that you will get through it. We're brought to make certain decisions to build who we are. Do not strive for what you can't achieve, but do you best to work for it. For what you fight for, many other blessings come with it.



Find a companion to sooth the pain and suffering through life. But remember to return the same to them. For it will bring you even more blessings for the both of you. Do everything together, your strengths can take over anything. But don't forget the friendship, it is the key to a better life.



Grow, cherish and thrive with Heavenly Father for the ultimate blessing of living with him again some day. Just follow his commandments to living a healthier life and you shall be of God in the end.



Use these tools I give you. Think about what Heavenly Father and Jesus would do when you're confronted with a hard task. Following his commandments come with many blessing, and also doing so will grant you what your heart desires.



I leave you to ponder these things with my knowledge of God and Christ. I know the teachings of The Bible and The Book of Mormon are true. Jesus does live among all of us. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
