Pretty sure it will be spring in heaven


Back in May I went for a walk in my favorite park at the height of spring. We live in a small(ish) town, and sometimes I have the park to myself. The blossoms danced prettily in the gusts of wind, the sun played peek-a-boo with the petals as I snapped picture after picture, trying to capture this beautiful, beautiful world and the euphoria I felt. I'm pretty sure it will be spring in heaven.

Where to look in times of trouble



It used to be I would look in the wrong place when I was discouraged and needed answers. When I encountered a day that shook me, a day where I wondered what I was doing wrong as a mother or how I could be inspired to be different, I would read blogs or instagram, searching for something I could hold on to. Someone who had 'figured it out' that would help me figure my life out too.

Is it your dream or is it pride?



I used to think that I wanted to write a book or I wanted to have a widely read blog. I thought that was my dream. But what I've realized over time is that that "dream" was a manifestation of my own pride. I wanted to be well-liked and considered "right" or smart. I feel called to blog, so I thought, "This will help me accomplish my dream! The Lord is helping me realize this 'dream' of mine."

Saying Yes to Help


Life is hard. Do you feel that way? I'd have to say it took me becoming a mother to really understand how much I could use and needed help from others. In our society, though, people who are strong, people who can do it all by themselves, people who don't "need" anyone else are celebrated and praised.

So grateful




It's a divine way to learn gratitude when you experience the loss of something. After this pregnancy, I find I am so grateful for the things I can once again do that I couldn't do while I was pregnant.

Like coming home


There's so much peace and clarity that comes with General Conference. It feels like coming home. People speak softly and with tenderness. They talk about the best in people, and the hope available in Jesus Christ. Problems I have in parenting sometimes seem insurmountable when I look at them through the answers available from worldly sources. But during conference, I receive sudden insights while people are talking, providing solutions to my problems, or hear things that will help me with the different trials I am facing. Somehow, after conference it feels like everything is going to be ok. It feels like love there. It feels like coming home.
