Life is a Roller Coster

Seriously, I look back on this whole week and it has been one crazy week. Not all bog entrees can be full of fun and pleasure etc . . . We have had a lot of drama this week, well drama is a bad word – our family has had a lot of ups & downs - misunderstandings, bad family news, adjusting friendships, constant health issues, serious economy news, political world news, school functions (a ton!), church functions, misc. stupid stuff . . .  you name it! Relatively things isolated by themselves not so bad but as a collective whole it can seem large. One thing I can say that has been such a blessing so far is that I am taking the adult religion class on Thursdays (sooooo good). They talked about this very thing. When life around you is in turmoil how important it is to carry on – I really have a new understanding of :

Mosiah 5:15

Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works . . .

It seems to me that everyday I received this message all week. I would remember for the day, but forget the next, until I read my scriptures, went visiting teaching, saw the EFY theme on the fridge, the daily gem from LDS.org you name it etc. . . It was nice. 

I absolutely loved the RS Broadcast. I realized how great it is to be a woman. There are so many good women everywhere! Always serving. I have to give a shout out to Kerri Winegar – she brought me dinner this week, even though I told her I didn’t need it. I know I’m not an easy person to serve – but when someone is willing to still reach out – I appreciate it! Thanks Kerri!

We had our primary program today – it ended this week so nicely – I loved seeing the cute kids, hearing the sweet songs, and seeing my kids looking to see if I’m looking at them.  Tucker & Will right before the program today - don't you love Will's cheesy smile & Tucker too cool for a tie?
