Okay... so Greg quit his job this past week to devote himself to the restaurant... even though we feel this was the right move, it is none the less very scary! We are doing well with the restaurant, but not so good that any of us have been able to take anything home yet (other than left over food!;) so of course, I am trying to stay positive and not let my fears replace my faith, I think I have a past post on this very subject, it is a hard one for me. I have looked at many people and especially family members and wondered how they are handling things thrown their way, and I often wonder if and when all of the struggles will end, even for a small moment...(I still am not sure of the answer to that one.) Anyway, so as I am thinking and wondering about what is in store for our family in the next few months - I go to church today and sit in the back row of Relief Society ( I am late again) and the lesson is on charity. I reflect on all of the acts of charity that others have done in our behalf (fabulous VT's in Layton - Dr. Pepper and chocolate right when I needed a reminder to chill out!, Elders Quorum's who help us move, even when it is the second one that day... babysitters, food, listening ears and the list go on and on.) and as I am reflecting I realize that I truly have so much to be grateful for - but there is that part of me that so wants to be the one giving, not always on the receiving end. Anyway, after the lesson one of the counselors comes up to me and I think she is going to say they have been trying to come and visit me again, so I immediately say "I know... I am never home" and she says will you be here the weekend of the 24th and I say yes...( where else would I be, right?!) and she smiles and asks me if I will give the lesson in Relief Society and hands me a paper with the lesson which is... Finding Strength in Challenging Times and Faith in Adversity.
So there you have it - the Lord's answer to my wondering mind... 'study it out for yourself and teach a lesson about it!!'

So funny! Not the trials of course but the way the Lord sends the answer. Good luck on the lesson and let me know what you learned!
I'll be teaching that same lesson that Sunday. (I told the RS President, if Allan doesn't have a job by then, not sure I can give the lesson. (I really didn't mean it, REALLY, I DIDN'T).
I know God is mindful of us--we just have to hang in there and seek to see His hand. I can see it, but sometimes I get scared and then I say to myself, "Why were you scared?"
(Sorry didn't mean to leave such a long comment ; )
Have Faith, if it's the right thing to do, everything will work out. Let God do the worrying - you just need to work hard:)
