WOW...IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. STARTING OUT SLOWLY WITH A JOURNAL PROMPT

QUESTION:

What do you think brings good or bad luck?

I don't believe in luck. Good or bad. I believe that some things that happen are consequences of our choices. And some things are what the Lord knows that we need, good or bad. I also think that not everything happens for a reason....some things just happen. And our test is how we handle what is put in our path. If we have faith in the Lord and trust that He knows us and what we need, with His help we can overcome. I pray that I can remember this.

Since it's been so long, I just want to say:

I have six awesome, healthy, happy, funny, lively, kind children. They are my joys and I am so grateful for them. They teach  me so much and I have so much fun with them. My calling as YW President keeps me really busy but Rob and the kids are so helpful. Life is good. The world is becoming increasingly scary, but life is good. I am grateful. I am blessed.

One more thing....
We had family scripture time (we read out of the Book of Mormon Children's series that my mom read to us when we were little), AND we had family prayer. For the first time again, in a while. The kids asked for more scriptures! It felt good. And it still does, a few hours later. I'm feeling inspired and motivated. I must continue this.
