Dad had taken the kids to the dump and they did some snow shoveling I think. He fed them lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs. Later, Bart came and took the boys snowmobiling around his place. Cody and James got to drive some of the others and they really enjoyed that.
It had been a tough week for me. What with trying to feel comfortable with my new calling, meetings and phone calls with that, preparing for the workshop and keeping up with my classes. I ended up dropping my math class. It was 3 credits, but it was taking about 12 hours each week and I still have 6 other credits. I had a 93% in the class. But I knew I wouldn't be able to maintain that with everything else in my life. In my setting apart blessing, I was counseled to put my husband and children first. I was told "your worthy husband, and your many wonderful children and grandchildren, need your support" and "you will be blessed with time and energy" was repeated several times. I realized that Heavenly Father would bless me with time and energy, but that I need to do my part to make that come true as well.
After I dropped the class, I became aware of how many other things I was neglecting. I think my pride was puffed up thinking I could be so capable and smart. I'm thankful for the guidance of the spirit and the blessings I have felt despite my overextending myself.
The visit with Tillerys went much too quickly. Chrystal wanted to leave early enough to beat a storm that was coming. They left about 4:30, 90 minutes later than she originally wanted to leave.
Sunday we went to Bart and Janet's for dinner and birthday cake for Sarai, who's 12. We also enjoyed skyping with the Tanners to see all their snow.
We are thankful that baby boy Dalton has safely arrived. We are thankful for each of you and your goodness.
