"If any of ye lack wisdom"

Last Wednesday, January 6th was another day that sent the world into a shock.  I don't know what to think anymore about the violent protests that are happening.  I just really can't believe this is what our world has turned into. 

I want to participate in government and want to make sure I'm choosing the best candidates, but honestly I feel that we can't trust anyone in government anymore.  We can't trust news media, articles, etc.

Where do we turn to find out the real answers of what is going on in the world?  

I searched news article after news article on Wednesday trying to find out why things were happening, and yet, it left me more confused. One side blames the other side and it continues back and forth. The news is one sided and we are filled with lies. Honestly, Wednesday night my head was spinning and I didn’t know what to think anymore. 


That’s when I turned to Zac and asked, where can I find the truth?  How can I really research to know who to believe and what to follow? 


He responded with the wisest answer - He just pointed to the ceiling. We won’t be able to find the truth here. Only God can lead us and help us know what is true.   He then said, “It’s as simple as the Primary Song ‘Follow the Prophet’. 


As I have pondered on his answer over this last week, I have found that even though it is simple, it is also profound. 


How often do I truly not go to the wisest person in the universe for the answer because I just feel like I can get my answer here on earth?


We live in a time of great turmoil just as Joseph Smith did. He sought church after church and the scriptures for answers to how to save his soul. Each church taught something slightly different then the other and it just confused him more. And yet, instead of giving up, like I have done with the government, he turned to the wisest being - God - for help. 


As we are seeking what to do or how to help in the world and government, make sure we go find our truth and knowledge from the best source - God. 


When I focus on that, my anxiety of what is going to happen and will there even be peace for my children, subsides and I can move forward. 


He will guide me to know what I need to do and when. He will prompt me as to which government officials I should be listening to.  He will help me know what the truth is.

Marriage Lessons from the Pickleball Court

My parents and sisters LOVE pickleball!  I enjoy it and am getting better every time I play, I just don't have time to play that often.  But as I sat on the court waiting for my turn to rotate in on a game, I was inspired with some lessons.    Marriage Lessons from the Pickleball Court: 1.  Communication is KEY !   If you don't talk to your partner, you won't be as successful as you could be.  You could luck out and have a partner that reads your body language and knows how to watch your moves so they can cover for you, but that is extra work on their part.  They can only keep that up for a short time.  Sooner or later one of you is going to get hurt or miss the ball. Communication is extremely important in marriage!  You have to be able to openly talk to your spouse. During one of the games we were playing my sister and I didn't communicate about who was going to get the ball so we both went after it.  As we did so I could see...

His will over mine

We moved to Arkansas and Abree is doing treatments again at The Spero Clinic.  Not the expected outcome, but it is what it is. But how grateful I am that we have a place to go to receive help. Abree was doing fantastic when we last left.  She couldn't return to sports or physical activity but we were ok with that knowing she wasn't in pain.  I thought maybe in time she could return to sports.  But then within a few weeks of school starting, the pain came back and she began having pain spikes up to 10.  We weren't too worried at first.  We knew she just needed some time to adjust to the stress of school and figured it would calm back down as the year went on.  We continued with treatments online and she would have days were it got a little better, but overall she was still living in a constant state of 5-6 on the pain scale.  She figured out how to put a smile on her face but Zac and I were a little concerned. In December we took her back for her 2...

CRPS Therapy Continued at home

The weeks just kind of flew by at the end and I didn't even stay caught up.  After week 8, Abree kept making great improvements.  We were able to fly home a few times to see the family and it didn't seem to affect her healing at all.  By 13 weeks she was able to graduate and come home!!  We got home just in time for Hunter's graduation from high school.   The day we found out she could go home she had a spike of pain.  I immediately was worried and started stressing that going home wasn't the right thing.  But as Abree and I talked about the pain, she was able to realize it was more pain from fear of going home.  It's completely understandable.  For weeks her only focus was learning how to get her pain down and rest.  Coming home meant she had to go back to normal life and actually have responsibilities again.  As she recognized the pain for what it was, fear, she was able to feel a decrease in the pain and move forward. Fear i...
