"While faith is not a perfect knowledge," Elder Neal A. Maxwell said, "it brings a deep trust in God, whose knowledge is perfect!"
Even in turbulent times, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is gritty and resilient. It helps us sift through unimportant distractions. It encourages us to keep moving along the covenant path. Faith pushes through discouragement and allows us to face the future with resolve and squared shoulders. It prompts us to ask for rescue and relief as we pray to the Father in the name of His Son. And when prayerful pleas seem to go unanswered, our persistent faith in Jesus Christ produces patience, humility, and the ability to reverently utter the words "Thy will be done."
P1 S2
God the Father has given us the divine birth, the incomparable life, and the infinite atoning sacrifice of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
I actually slept in my bed last night, the first time in quite awhile.
It is snowing this morning. I have pain this morning, but it is not unbearable. I ate first thing and took a muscle relaxer, prednisone and tramadol. Pierce and Stacy said not to take the tramadol while I was using muscle relaxers but Dr. Brian said it was fine so I am doing it.
I worked on my blog and did my morning chores. Texted with Kacey about Autumn's panic attacks which sound very similar to Kim's. I learned a lot about what Kim has gone through by texting her and learning of what she is doing now for her health. Kacey is with Autumn and trying to help her.
I'm still not up to walking my full 12,000 steps. At one point I walked 15 minutes and had a bad cramp in my foot and calf.
Kacey suggested we listen to a talk by Elder Bednar which he gave at BYU yesterday regarding miracles and temple service. It was sooo good!
James lost 250 indexing names and is very sad. I told him he needed to shake it off, realize what he did wrong and never do it again, and move on. He was finally able to do that.
Tamara went to help clean at the Bowen's today with two other sisters. They worked all day and were only able to do half the kitchen. I suggested that we needed to do some training with both Heather and Sean regarding how to keep your home organized and clean. Tamara agreed. Heather will be down for about six weeks when she gets home because of her surgery so we will need to take the slow and gradual approach.
I heard a rumor that my friend, Debbie Vance's brother, Darrel Tarwater, had passed away. Debbie's other brother, Neal, is Kim's bishop so I asked Kim is she had heard anything and she said she had not.
Watched "The Love Struck Cafe" starring Andrew Walker, my favorite male Hallmark actor.
