A strong woman verses a woman of strength

A strong women works out everyday to keep her body in shape...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything... but a woman of stength shows
courage in the midst of her fear.
A strng woman won't let anyone get the best of her... but a woman of strength
gives her best to everyone.
A strong women makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future... a woman of stregth
realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessing and capitalizes on them.
A strong woman walks sure-footedly... but a woman of strength
knows Gods will catch her when she falls.
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face... but a woman of strength
wears grace.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey... but a woman of strength
has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Dedicated to a woman of strength.

What happens when you mix a dresser, a trailer, and 60 miles an hour?
We were driving down the freeway a few weeks ago, in front of us was a truck with a trailor and a big dresser in the trailor. The dresser was laying flat and it was very big. I'm sure the people in the truck thought that the dresser wouldn't going anywhere because it was so heavy. But as we followed behind the trailor the wind began to catch the dressing we watched as it floated up and then flew off the trailor. There was no place for us to go. I was holding my breath all I could think about was that thing flying in our windshield. But the dresser flew to the pavement and slide across the lane right to the side of the road. Then we had to surve to miss the trailor as it pulled to the side of the road to claim its runaway furniture.
It was crazy scary and we were so lucky that day. I knew that Heavenl;y Father was looking over us.

Digging A Hole and Crawling In

We have a dog that likes to dog a hole close to the house and lay in it to either keep cool in the summer or to keep warm in the winter. I think that sometimes we all feel like digging a hole and crawling in.
I noticed on facebook a comment on people who are going through hard times.
I would like to tell you about something that happened to me several years ago.
Corbin was having a really hard time with his epilepsy and it was taking a big tole on him and the family I didn't know what else to do or where to turn for help. I prayed a lot but I never seemed to get an answer to my prayers. And then one day I read an Article in the Ensign that said if you aren't getting an answer to your prayer you need to change they way you are praying. I was asking for God to give me the answers. So I changed my prayer and asked God what he would have me do. I immediatley got an answer although it was not the one I was expecting. The answer was Trust In Me. I thought okay  I got an answer but what does it mean, Trust In Me. I started reading scripture after scripture trying to figure this out. None of it seemed to click then one day while reading the Ensign again there was an article about trusting our Father in Heaven. And then I knew what it meant, Jesus died on the cross not only for our sins, but it was to take on all our pain and suffering, He knows how we feel about everything He knows how we ache when our loved ones are suffering and all we can seem to do is sit back and say I am here and I love you. If we Trust In Him he will lighten the pain that we feel.

Can't wait for school to begin

Beleive it or not I am excited for school to start again not for the kids but for me. I had thought I would have found a little part time job by now but no such luck. I have got a lot of things done here but I am not cut out to be around the house all day. My kids are all older and don't need me around as much. I keep thinking I should finish all my started craft projects but somehow I  have hardly touched them. Oh well there is some hope beyond the horizon.
