All is well.

Yesterday I went on a bike ride and loved being outside so much I found a project outside. It was beautiful... I wish the weather could be like that all year round. It was warm enough to be in short sleeves but not hot enough to be uncomfortable. The yard this year is so pretty I've loved being outside as much as I can since I moved home. While cutting down dead flowers and pulling weeds I listened to the scriptures on my I-pod. I was listening in 3 Nephi when I heard the following....

3 Nephi 13:25-34:

25 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words he looked upon the atwelve whom he had chosen, and said unto them: Remember the words which I have spoken. For behold, ye are they whom I have chosen to bminister unto this people. Therefore I say unto you, ctake no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than draiment?

26 Behold the afowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the alilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin;
29 And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you, if ye are not of little faith.
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But aseek ye first the bkingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. aSufficient is the day unto the evil thereof.

I took great comfort and had renewed faith as I heard these words ring truth to my soul. He is aware of us and will take care of us as we first seek the kingdom of God.

Did I mention how much I LOVE this thing... deep LOVE!!!! Thank you Apple!!!!


So, no... I do not have a job yet. I am heavily pursuing an events/marketing position or a pharmaceutical sales job. The Lord has a plan for me and something will come exactly at the right time. Until then I'm really enjoying being home. The boys are so funny and they all have such fun personalities. We aren't sleeping very much- late night movies, lots of friends over way late, midnight snacks, cookie making and x-box playing. I've loved family dinners and just being around a bunch of people who you know love you. Mom has been so kind and let me take her future sowing room.... soon mom, soon you can have it back :) To fill my time I'm working a few hours at a local Smoothie shop called Juice Press. So I keep telling people that I'm saving the world one smoothie at a time. It's been really fun since I get to work with a great friend (Kelli) from high school- she's even been working out with me- love her so big for that!!! It's great to finally have a workout partner.

Meg - you're a wonderful daughter and a wonderful young woman. I love the scripture you quoted here, and the fact that you did the work in our yard while listening to the words of God. I'm so blessed to be your dad! I'm so glad you've back home with us for a while.

Love you always, Dad
