Damon 2008 Christmas

What to write about?

How about the new job we got and that we are moving soon? I wish.

Trying to think positive but it is hard. Some people say you should invision yourself that you have already received what you really want. Some people say you have to ask the universe and think positively about all the things you want and that the universe will give it to you. Well you wont get anything if Heavenly Father doesn't want you to have it. No matter how much metitating and wishing over it you do. How about being happy with what you have now? How about that?

Heavenly Father, you know what we need. You know our desires. You know what is best for us. Guide us on the best path that you would have us go and direct us to what would be best for us. These things we want and need but Thy will be done. Help us be good, serve others, be more obedient and cheerful. May we be inspired by Thy spirit and have the courage and strength to follow it.

Didn't have famly prayer and scripture study this morning or yesterday. Andrea barely made the bus both days. Just not getting up early enough. I can feel a diference with not having it. Also been thinking about the Book of Mormon. I love that book and need to get my personal routine going again.

Not looking forward to Christmas. I've been trying not to think about it and realizing today how soon it is coming.

We went to the temple on Friday. It had been a couple of months. It was amazing. We went with another couple and it was so fun. There is a young woman in my ward who refuses to accept money to babysit for people while they go to the temple. She loves to babysit and she did a good job. All my kids had been fed and were sleeping when we got home. What a relief. I hope to call her every month!! That is the whole challenge with going to the temple---arranging and paying for a babysitter.
