It seems like life has a hard way of teaching me this. It also has a hard way of teaching me patience, you know...the one thing I don't have time for. The last few weeks have been chalk full of disappointment and heartache, but I am sure that there is something to learn from all of it. Some days I fret about how slow I learn things that a loving Heavenly Father is trying to teach me, other days I get discouraged by all of the missed opportunities I have to help those around me. And then there are still times when I don't slow down enough that I could hear anything. My challenge to me today... Slow down, breath, be happy, and trust that Heavenly Father is in charge. Hopefully I can become the person He knows I can be.
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me
I let Him choose the colours
He worketh subtlety.
Oft times He worketh sorrow
and I within my heart
Forget He sees the pattern
While I see only the part.
The dark threads were as needful
In the weaver's skilful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver,
In the pattern He had planned.
Not till the room is silent,
And the shuttle ceases to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas,
And explain the reason why.

Miss Becca... What to do what to do. I wish I lived closer to help you or beat you.. hehehe just kidding on the beating part (maybe) I wish that you would learn these two little letters NO (as you can see they are right next to each other in the alphabet line up. that was no mistake) I really wish that you would take a break and come and visit. It has been over a year since we have seen you. Not that I am keeping track. Everytime we come to Utah you are off someplace else. I don't know which one of us has bad timing.. I really do want you to know how much you are loved. I want you to know that no matter if you get the project done, or YW stuff accomplished or whatever else that you "think" needs to be done and perfected that you are still loved and appreciated. I want you to know that you are a choice person and I know that you bless those around you. ( I know this cause you have blessed our lives). I want you to know that no matter what situation that is going on around you that it really doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is YOU. Do you love yourself? Do you respect yourself? Those are very very important things. If you do not do these first then it makes life very hard. Please remember that we love you and we miss you so very much. I really would love it if you could come and hang for awhile. Sometimes I need a hug also (this week would have been good). I love you tons!!! and miss you so much more.
