July 13- 3-D Printer








Eli loves his printer!! It has already been a little temperamental, but Scott was so amazing and helped him fix it 2 times. Talk about Christ like love and service. 

 

July 12- Eli's first time at the temple

 This is where I should be with my children. It's good to be at the temple with all of them. My heart finds joy and peace here.

And of course... afterwards Peppermill.













July 11- Lil' Fisherman

Ever since he was littler he's wanted to go fishing. This year the Felsted boys taught him how over the summer and I think it brought him quite a bit of peace. He would go every morning on his bike and enjoy catching fish or not.









 

July 11- Friends. Thank Heavenly Father for Friends

It's so surprising how many people go through the same things you do. It's actually ridiculous and wrong. But at least you can share how you survive it all and know you aren't alone in your suffering.

 




July 10- Cousin Time

 We all come upon hard times in life. It's good to be there for each other. 





July 8- Revelation

So you may think that you know exactly what you will do when something happens. You may think you know yourself so well, that if what would happens, happens... bam. Easy. You know!

But that isn't how it works. God is all.

I had never been in such turmoil in my entire life. My path would be hard either way I chose. My path would not just affect me, but my sweet children who I never wanted any of this for.

Selfishness. Lies. What misery they bring.

While at the temple I prayed harder than I have ever prayed. If ever I needed clarity, I was hoping this would be the moment. I know how the spirit works, I know how the spirit speaks to me... and the answer I got in the celestial room was Romans 8.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 


I hope our family can find healing, forgiveness, and peace. I hope for a brighter future and an eternal family.

July 7- More

What? 18 years. How can there be more... LIFE!!

Why won't it stop.

Why is there just more and more and more and more and more.

Finally honesty? Hopefully.


 

July 6- What are we doing? I don't know

I guess we are working on things. I don't know what that means. I still hurt so bad.






 

July 4- Craptastic!

What! Another holiday with me taking care of kids by myself. Lol.

Oh life. You!!

Thank God for angels who are friends. Who bear you up and help you survive.
