Yet again another week that has flown by without me even noticing. I always wonder where my week went. It’s sad to say but another week someone asked me how far along I was and I had to really try to figure it out.. I said somewhere between 6 and 7 months? Next Thursday I will be 7 months along.. which is mind blowing to me. There is still to much to do before life can slow down! Well this week was an adventure for sure…
*Tuesday morning I noticed that there was water on the ground in the garage… following the puddle back to the source we saw that the hot water heater had started to leak. Great, just as Kiel is off to work he tells me to get someone out to get it checked out. Of course it doesn’t take long for someone to come out and tell me the damage. Ouch… another house project chosen by the house. You know.. one of these days WE will actually get to decide what project to tackle next. Oh well… damage is done. We have a new water heater and the damage the water did to some of the drywall is being worked on. Fun stuff.. But that’s life I guess.
*Wednesday, a productive day with Kiel at home. When Kiel is off from work all I want to do is have him lay down and rest but he took it upon himself to work on the backyard. It had a rough, hot summer (even though it’s still in the 90’s) but we are prepping it for winter and hoping it all fills in with green, luscious grass!
In other news Wednesday night at mutual all the yw leaders had a moment. Our wonderful yw president is moving this month so along with that we all believe we are all going to be released… it’s bitter sweet to think about. We all love those girls so much and have had so many amazing experiences with them but… it will be nice to not have such a demanding calling. I was excited about this calling and the past year has been amazing but with a new little one coming it might be a blessing from above to allow me to be with my family. But you never know where the Lord will place me next……
*Thursday…. yesterday I had an amazing experience. Now I won’t go into to much detail but I had a feeling all day that I needed to listen to the promptings of the spirit. This has been something I’ve been working on. Especially when it came to teaching in Young women’s. So all day I knew there was something I needed to do but I didn’t know what… until 5:30pm. I had a feeling that I needed to feed someone. I didn’t know who or why but that night I had planned on making Chicken tortilla soup.. which is always such a huge batch it’s easy to share. The voice in my head pretty much had yelled to me to call someone.. So I stopped in kitchen and made a call. After talking to the Compassionate Service Sister we came up with 2 names. When she said the 2nd name it confirmed my feelings from the other night. I then knew I had to do something. And without embarrassing her… it just all worked out. She was on her way home and I really had to convince her to just stop by and grab a pot of soup. This woman has been the most amazing example to me of service and I feel like I finally got her in a time of need. Whether it made a huge impact in her day or not, it gave me that chance to test my faith and listen to the spirit. So I feel like I passed a test and maybe the Lord will continue to work through me to help others. Ok… but I have to be honest… I might sound like I some sort of Saint.. or whatever.. but I am just trying to live up to the amazing women in my ward. Our ward is a family of service. I was telling my mom on the phone the other day that if I were to post on Facebook that I wasn’t feeling well or that I needed some children’s clothing… within an hour I am sure someone would be at my door. That’s just how giving these women are. And I am so grateful to be apart of this family. Ok.. enough of that fun stuff….
And for this weekend and the chance for things to slow down and relax.. that’s not happening.. we have a busy weekend and Monday will come very fast.
*Happy Birthday to me*
