This summer I took all of my senior year classes in order to be able to internship. During my finals in April (note the during part), we moved to my parent's basement apartment and the next week I started my summer classes. Five days after they ended, I started my time as a Fox Hollow employee and got ready to invite little critters back to school. The first day of school was TERRIBLE and I wanted to cry and quit. Well, I cried a lot, but I didn't quit and I'm so glad. Life is so good with my 27 wonderful first graders. We have a long way to go, but we're going to have an incredible year!
This weekend was Conference weekend for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brian and I were able to split our weekend between our two families and even watched one session just as a couple. My pleadings and prayers were answered and soothed as I listened to the words of our prophets and apostles. There were themes of love, service, becoming as a child, and so much more that I needed to hear at this time. I think I was already on a right track, but I guess you can say that my view was changed because it was expanded to a greater eternal perspective about this life. I have so much work to do, good work to do, and now I want to do it. I also know that this life will be a progression that comes in stages. I am committed to do the best I can to be the kind of disciple Christ would have me be. I am so grateful to be a member of this true Church.
Life is good. Never forget to view this eternal probation in an eternal perspective - life gets too crazy if you do.
