God had a work for me to do.

'Mortality Works'
Elder Brook P. Hales
"Because this life is a testing ground and 'dark clouds of trouble hang o'er us and threaten our peace to destroy,' it is helpful to remember this counsel and promise found in Mosiah 23 relating to life's challenges: 'Nevertheless-whosoever putteth his trust in the Lord the same shall be lifted up at the last day.'"
Happy 8th Anniversary Jared & Kacey! We are so happy for you!
As part of our "Come Follow Me" study we listened to a talk by President Nelson given in 2017, "Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives." This is an excerpt from this talk:
"When He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life, you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know, exactly what you should do. When you spiritually stretch beyond anything you have ever done before, then His power will flow into you."
I remember this talk by President Nelson because he said he had challenged the young adults of the Church to look up all of the reference to Jesus Christ in the topical guide and study them. He had done this himself and he said he would never be the same. I took on this challenge and it took me over five years to finish the challenge as I did one scripture a day. It was a worthy endeavor and I am grateful I did it.
James said the Razr should be fixed by this weekend and I am very excited!
Today in the mail James got a package from his Mom and Dawn for his birthday. A wallet, some socks, a shirt and a $50 Amazon gift card. I also got my new measuring spoons that I ordered, six new notebooks, and my new swords which are a little bigger. The clock we ordered on December 20th won't be here for a few more days.
I asked James when he went to town if he would bring me back a taco from Aliberto's. I was envisioning a crispy shell shredded beef taco. Instead James brought me back a carne asada taco with guacamole, with soft tortillas. At first I complained but then I apologized because I actually really liked it! Thanks Honey!
James helped me clean downstairs this afternoon. We stacked the Christmas boxes in the years supply closet. James carried out all of the trash bags and I swept the hallway and stairs. It is such a relief to have this done as I have been trying to get to it for a week but just haven't felt up to doing it.
Kathy Crane texted me this evening and asked what our plans were for going out to dinner tomorrow night. We invited them to celebrate Chuck and James's birthdays. Chuck's is the 22nd and James's is the 23rd.
Finally a decision has been made. We are going to Charlie Clark's and we will pick Chuck and Kathy up at 4 pm. I'm excited because Charlie Clark's is the best steak house on the mountain.
James brought me some herbal tea this evening. He is so thoughtful.
Another quote from President Nelson:
"Pray to know how to pray with power."
"Pray to know how to pray with power."
Happy Anniversary!
