1. I exercised faith when we bought our new build home in Newalla, Oklahoma that we would be able to find somewhere to live for two months (the time between when our lease was up {we live in college student apartments - we would have to sign a year contract if we were to renew} and the time when the new house would be ready. I had seen the Lord's hand in our lives undeniably that I could not doubt that he would provide a way for us. The day after we signed our agreement on the new build, the grass outside the apartment building caught on fire - if the kids had not seen it or had not said anything about it, I'm confident the building would have gone up in flames. I called the fire department, but the neighbors upstairs are the true heros who actually put the fire out. The little damage that was done was on the exterior wall where the boys' room is. All's well that ends well, This incident put us in a position to ask for the favor of extending our lease a few months... which they were willing to do.
2. We went to a friend's home for dinner tonight. They made two different kinds of homemade noodles, had homemade bread, salad, shrimp, chicken, and sausage. It was obvious they spent much time on the meal and presentation. We showed up late with two pans of cookies baked, and two pans ready to be baked. It was so embarrassing! Their big house was clean (including the kitchen). I walked into our tiny messy apartment (with a messy kitchen) and sighed. I have to remind myself that I am still in maintenance phase with my little ones. I did, however, open up my Family Search account and tried to work on it a little while Levi climbed all over me. I'm trying to have a Mary's heart in a Martha's world. 3. I went to the Bishop's office to get motivated to work on my family history. When she pulled up my account, I felt the Spirit so strongly that it brought tears to my eyes. 4. Bella and Will (he wants to be called Will, not William now) both sang duets in Primary but not together. I am so proud of them! 5. I am so thankful for the herb pack that helped my clogged duct/mastitis. 6. Greg painted his first painting today! He has been virtually mentored by Bob Ross on YouTube. 7. Greg held a bunny at the feed store yesterday and had a reaction again... his hands started itching and bumps started forming. He started coughing and had an itchy throat. Luckily the van had a flat tire and so we were stopped long enough trying to fill the tire to realize that there was a problem. I ran in the gas station and got him some Benedryl Luckily, it was sufficient. A friend later told me that once two symptoms are activated, then it is time to use the EpiPen. Yikes! We have been so blessed! 8. On her own, Madilyn reorganized the boxes in the rooms so that we can make room for Sara and her family to visit us soon... we've never had company. I'm so nervous. 9. Will is on antibiotics for Strep throat. I am so amazed that he just does as he is supposed to; I never have to remind him to take his medications. 10. The speaker today said that her husband's family shoved religion down his throat. It made me wonder if I am doing that. My desire to do what's right may be overshadowing my love for the Lord. I spend more time reminding my kids to read their scriptures than actually reading the scriptures myself. Hmm. I need to repent. I have a feeling that as I fill my heart with the good word that my love for the scriptures will naturally flow into their hearts, minds, and souls and then they will have a desire to feel that same happiness.
