We've been a little busy lately.
Between Brian's work and ecclesiastical responsibilities, he's been gone
more evenings than he's been home the past few weeks. Add in the
stress of buying a home and all the documents, all the inspections, all
the work that goes into just moving, and we're a little tired.
We
are truly blessed, though. Not only are we blessed to find a house
that we love and will make our home, but we have replacement tenants
(since we are breaking our lease) so that stress is removed. Things
have come together, and I know it's because the way has been opened for
us.
The
week that we were contemplating buying this house, I went to the
Snowflake temple. I was a ball of emotions and stress and anxiety.
But, as I prayerfully studied the decisions in front of our family in my
mind, I felt this overwhelming sensation of peace and calm.
I'm
sick today with a bad cold. Brian spoke in church (the entire
bishopric spoke!) and I'm so sorry that I missed it. Daniel is under
the weather, too. So, the kids and I stayed home today. I always feel
off when I can't make it to church. But, I decided to take this time to
catch up on my blog and remember all the ways that the Lord has blessed
me. At the end of the day, what matters most is my precious family.
We love each other. We are happy. We have the gospel in our home.
What is more important than that?
