Who are you?

By -
Yesterday's Sunday School class posed an important question....who are we?  Seriously, do YOU know?  It got me thinking.  Do you know who you are, and where you came from?  Why you're here?  Yes, those are pretty loaded questions.  I agree.  But you know what?  I know who I am.

I am a child of God and He has sent me here.  He's given me an earlthy home with parents who are kind and dear.  

This is truth.   I believe it.  For me, there's no doubt in my mind that this is reality.  How thankful I am to know these things.  There are many who live this earth, and leave this earth without this knowledge.  To me, this is sad.  I have to say that living this life, not knowing who we are would be like walking around, in the dark without any light to guide us.  We would be lost.

I know that God exists.  I know that God loves us.  I know that God and His son are two separate beings, who want us to return back to live with them some day.  

It is easy to forget our worth.  When the stresses of life get us down, it's easy for our self worth to be questioned.  It's easy to believe we don't have it in us to get through any trials or struggles that stand in our way.  

But when we take this knowledge, knowing we are a child of God, well this knowledge can be our guide, our light in a very darkened world.  It can remind us our worth.  It can remind us where we came from, and surely any child of God can get through the difficult times that are laid before us.  

Because I am a daughter of God....


These are the things/answers I'm going to figure out and think about this week...so I'll have to update you another time.  But I'd like to challenge you to do the same.  What does it mean to you to be a child of God?  

Oh, and you know what?  If we're all children of God(which I know we are) then we're all literally spirit children of God.  This means we're all brothers and sisters.  How lucky are we?

So I'll ask you, one more time...who are you?

I'm bad...and that's good????

  Ok....so if you have not had the opportunity to watch Wreck it Ralph...you need to!!!!  It is now one of our favorite movies.  It has so much cute humor in it, plus a nice feel good story line.   They have a "bad guys" group where they have meetings weekly to discuss their frustrations on being the bad guys.  They all say a chant(if that's what you call it??) which is: "I'm Bad, and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be...than me". I love that.  It says/means a lot in my opinion.   Ralph is not bad...he's just the "bad guy" in his video game.  He's got a good heart and a good soul.   So... you are probably wondering why I'm posting about this right?   I have really been trying hard lately to not just assume someone is what I think they are just by looking at them...you know the whole don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing.  It's working...

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta...

Six Months...

By -
I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that...
