Just send the invitation
I hope this post finds you all well and gearing up for a new week. I am starting mine with mixed emotions. I will be starting a new adventure at work tomorrow, which is exciting, but I have only had one day off this week. Thankfully, it has been a great uplifting day off.
My mind has been filled with many thoughts this week. My Father in Heaven has taught me through many channels. One that I will cherish always comes from a discussion had about Eli and Samuel. When the Lord came to Samuel, at first he did not recognize the voice of the Lord, but turned to a great example, leader, and father figure in his life, Eli. I love the fact that to Samuel, the voice of the Lord and the mortal man he loved and respected would be similar in his heart and head, because their message was the same.
On the flip side of that, I was reminded a well that when going to the Lord, especially in times of doubt, confusion, or uncertainty. We can go to Him with the same confidence, openness, and fearlessness that we would with one that we love, respect, and honor in mortality. We can talk to Him as we would talk to them. We can do so knowing that He will hear us, counsel with us, and love us unconditionally just as would our confidant.
He knows us. He wants to be part of our lives. He also respects and honors our agency. He will not interfere unless invited. Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened. The possibilities are endless and beyond our understanding. We must exercise the faith to ask. Go ahead, open the dialogue. I promise you that nothing is impossible.
On with the update. The Queen ended the week in a tight ball of stress. It does not seem like anything with this recent change our lives is going as planned or expected. We have exchanged computers 3 times in the last 3 weeks. We have tried wireless, Ethernet, blood, sweat, and tears. It just does not seem to be working the way we need it to. We have had a technician come out and will have another this week. Hopefully it will be resolved before I join her house party.
The Professor spent the week relaxing. The weather has been cooperative. The library is full and always willing to share. She as just another short week and then it will be back to the grind until the holidays. I think she will make it.
Tall Man started a new and exciting adventure on the south side of the valley. He is loving every minute of it. He was also able to spend time with friends and neighbors from the North Country. It has left him tired, but happy. Sometimes that is just the way it is.
Puddin just faced the day in and day out of work. He has highs and lows. Sounds like life. We all bask in the high he enjoyed this week by receiving letters and pictures from our Idaho Spud. We look forward to sharing more of those moments.
SnackPack spent the week facing term finals. It sounds like he did fairly well. He is not happy with all the results, but the were passing and he gave them his best, that is all that counts. Saturday we watched fall league come to an end. His team came in second for the season. It was an excellent run. All who participated came out better people.
Now we bring our week to a close. May the Lord Bless you all in the coming week. Until Sabbath next.
