I will get good at this!

I KNOW that I am supposed to have a blog but I am so poor at it!  So here's to me trying to get back into it.  My heart is full today, as I have reflected on this beautiful week I have had. I say it a lot and I will say it again, God is good!  I have felt his hand countless times in my week and I am so grateful for his constant care of his children, even when we feel inadequate and undeserving.

1. Monday morning started off with the arrival of beautiful baby girl straight from Heaven. I was crazy and drove down to Layton to meet her and it was well worth the trip.  When I got there Dianna wasn't feeling too hot so I had baby Judith all to myself.  She had just gotten her bath and she was smelling so sweet.  She was perfectly bundled and I was able to hold her in my arms for about 30 minutes.  As I held her I felt heaven in my arms.  What a privilege it is when we get the opportunity to hold such perfect little souls.  Holding her I realized that I was being affected by her goodness, he was healing my heart and changing me.  This little being who was only 2 or 3 hours old was making me a better person.  Thank the heavens above that we get these opportunities to recommit ourselves to Becoming.

2. This GUY!

This Mr. is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. please don't look too closely at my crazy face but check him out! Holy Cow! Is there anything more endearing than that look on a boys face?  Every girl deserves to feel so completely and utterly loved by someone.  I have no doubts or fears that he cares for me and would do anything for me.  I would do anything for him too.  He is good. Good to the core.  He is kind to everyone.  He trusts in the lord, even when it doesn't seem like the most rational thing to do.  He is a keeper!  So yep, this is happening.
3. Relief Society Conference
The relief society conference was phenomenal.  The words spoken were EXACTLY what I needed to hear.  Once again I felt my soul on fire: I am determined to be better and make improvements that will make me a better Disciple of Christ.  The main message I received from conference is that if we keep our Covenants than we will feel God bless us over and over again. Time and Time again we will find ourselves in awe of his goodness.
