Early Morning

I just wanted to share.  I woke up early this morning, folded the clothes, washed last night's dishes (that I should have done last night!), ate breakfast, and then read my scriptures and spent time in prayer.  I should do this more often.  Although, I think tomorrow I will do those things in reverse, reading the scriptures should come before the housework.  :)  

The message I got from the scriptures today was to not be ashamed of the path we have chosen.  See, my husband, children and I recently converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We've always been Christians, but finding this church has been the next step in our faith.  We've made stronger commitments to follow God's word, and to allow his influence over our lives.  Not everyone in our life is supportive of this choice, and this has made me quite uncomfortable.  I need to work on not letting other people's opinions have an affect on how I feel, or what my focus should be.  I can't control what other people think of me, nor do I want to.  I just wish it didn't bother me so much.  This path is not always easy, and not everyone understands, but I am confident that we've made the right choice for our family, and I'm happy with that.  We're moving forward.     


  :)     Now for the last few quiet moments before the kids wake up, I need to get the school work ready for the day.  The boys are working on writing editorials, and the girls will be learning about the garden and how things grow.
