Our Thoughts and Impressions
Well, hello. It has been a while since we last updated our blog, so we thought we better let everyone know how we are doing. We are great! Thanks and have a good day. J/K. No, we are great. For Valentines day, Jeff and I were finally able to get away with out the kids in tow. Man, was it ever needed. I forgot just how much fun it is to be with Jeff and to simply spend time with him as I am giving him my full attention (other then at night when the kids are in bed.) We also were able to go on another date around the same time to a movie and dinner.It felt like we were dating again, but this time we could come home to our wonderful little family. I have to see that I love my family soooo much. I don't know what I would do without even just one, but I also am grateful for the time that I have to spend with just my hubby to renew our love and make our bond stronger so that in turn we can stand united as we try to raise our family. Thanks for watching the kids grandma and grandpa. We love you so much!!!
The past few months Jeff and I have had a lot on our minds. With the way the economy has gone and with Jeff's line of work we have been a little worried as to what the future would bring, especially with the new president and all that is going on back in Washington. Jeff is doing great at his job and is the only one there that does what he does, and the company has already announced to everyone that they will not lay anyone off, if it hard not to worry when there is little to nothing to be done at work. So Jeff has put his resume out there to see what it would bring. He has had some interviews and companies showing interest in him, but nothing that we have felt good about. There was one, that we both really felt was the way we needed to go and thought it was the answer to our prayers, as it got closer to him being offered the job, Jeff knew that he couldn't accept it. To be completely honest, I was a little upset, until I understood that it came from a higher source and that Jeff was simply what the Lord needed him to do, not knowing why, or even stopping to ask questions. That is one reason why I love him so much. He so willingly follow the Lord and is always striving to do HIS will. Yesterday, Jeff and I were able to go the Temple and both came out felling renewed and with a greater determination to follow the Lord, and dive in full heartily and do what the Lord would have us do. There were so very distinct things that we need to do and some general things as well. We are both so grateful for the Lord in our lives and the opportunity that we have to attended the Temple to learn and receive personal revelation. EVERYTHING that we have, has been given to us by our Lord and Savior and in turn we need to make sure that we are doing all that we can, to help those around us. To use what we have been given to help better the lives of those around us, for that is truly why we have been given what we have. One that was very striking to both of us, is that we need to seek for treasures in Heaven where dust and moth do not corrupt, and not for the things of the world that only bring pride which only leads to destruction. Again I am very thankful for all that we have been given. I truly love my husband and kids and can not wait until we can all attend the Temple together, to share with my children the same joy and peace that I felt yesterday while there. As for Jeff's job, there has been some more opportunities arise and we know what we must do. The Lord has promised that when we are keeping the commandments and striving to be our best, he will pour out blessing upon us. Right now, we need to learn patience and keep our faith alive in Christ. For He truly ask nothing of us, that He will not provide away for it to be accomplished. I Know that my Savior lives and that He loves me. The atonement is real and it was for me, not just for the repenting of my sins, but for all that I am going through. He knows my heart and what I am going through. Even if it is something as simple as knowing what I need when it may have been a rough day with the kids. I can turn to my Savior and find the strength I need to make it to another day. I know that my Savior was resurrected and that He lives. Knowing this simple truth is all I need to make it to tomorrow and give me the faith where I may be lacking. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
