Peace

I'm feeling better.  Prayer and studying the Book of Mormon have allowed the Spirit to bring me peace.  This time around, I'm slowing my reading down a little and focusing on some topics and labeling.  I can tell that the Lord has been granting me more clarity and a more "mature" view on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I understand the scriptures better now than I ever have.  I cannot get enough...

On Sunday evening, Ashley and Robert had us over for hot chocolate, gingerbread cookies and our gift exchange.  Hoping to make a tradition out of that!  They have become like family to us this past year, and we love them so much.

Nate has been enjoying his break from school.  I haven't felt well all week, so we've just been hanging out here.  This nagging head cold has kept me from running, and I feel so antsy and sluggish!  Nate ran 7 miles the other day though!  He rocks.  My world.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas!  Our countdown chain is short, I'm finished with shopping/wrapping gifts, and so I'm hoping to finish up the week with some baking, if I can feel better! 

Cameron's latest obsession is Ninjago.  See, he cut his Spiderman mask to become a Ninjago mask.  He's so creative and intense...never know what he'll be into next!  I love that about him!

My early Christmas present.  It inspires me.  And the navy jersey fabric is SO comfy.

Nothing gives me more peace than the gospel of Jesus Christ. This whole tragedy in Connecticut has gotten a lot of people down, including me. We had a special family home evening on Monday. Heath pulled quotes and scripture references from the "Tragedy or Destiny" chapter in the book "Faith Precedes the Miracle." It gave us all a better perspective on life and death and reiterated our faith and testimony in the Plan of Salvation.

I love the gospel. I love reading your testimony of the gospel. I'm glad you feel peace. Now feel better so you can bake! :) Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

My nephew has that shopping cart and loves it to death!!! Sometimes we even put Sawyer in the little seat. Hahahaahahaha :)

I seriously love your passion for the book of mormon. Makes me want to read it every waking moment.
