Spiritual Sunday

"Our Heavenly Father … knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass."
-President Thomas S. Monson, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I will be honest.  I am writing this monday and I really didn't give this a lot of thought...which tells me I need to do better at making my Sunday more spiritual.  But here is a thought for all of us.  Here is the link if you would like to read the rest of this address given by President Monson at October General Conference:  Monson

We all have trials.  Life is hard sometimes.  But we do really grow and learn as we face challenges.  It does not mean that God has forsaken us or that He hates us or even that we have done something wrong.  This life is where we prove ourselves for eternity.  Prove wisely. :)

Stupendous Saturday.

Stupendous Saturday:
1. Crying in front of family-sometimes I need to cry and let other comfort me.
2. Forgiveness
3. A patient husband
4. How falling in class has gotten me respect in 6th hour, my most challenging class.
5. The students who make it worth coming everyday. 
6. Coming home to Ellis after a hard day. 
7. Ellis being happy when he wakes up. 
8. Having a date night. It was weird being without Ellis but fun to have Reuben all to myself. Ender's Game is good. So are wings.
