Becoming Unshaken

Greetings All-

I completely identified this week with Moroni as he talked of how others might mock him for his words.  I wish I was as eloquent in writing and speaking as the Holy Ghost is in teaching me.  It all sounds so clear in my head, but when I try to say it, teach it, or even write it, it comes out in a jumbled mess.  Let's see if I can do any justice today.

Pondering Enos 1:11-12

"And after I, Enos, had heard these words, my faith began to be unshaken in the Lord; and I prayed unto him with many long strugglings for my brethren, the Lamanites."

"And it came to pass that after I had prayed and labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith."

Again, completely relatable to these verses.  I testify to you that I have heard the words of God as He speaks to me.  My faith, though still incomplete, is becoming more and more unshaken.  I put my trust in Jesus Christ.  I pray to Him often.  I admit that my struggles could be longer, as could be my prayers.  But I do pour out my heart to Him in their behalf.  

I pray for my home, my children, my spouse, my job, the men and women who serve with me, as well as those who just serve me.  I am working on praying for those who need Christ in their lives.  I am sure I could do better.

I strive to pray and labor with all diligence.  I love how the Lord speaks to me and reminds me of my weaknesses that I might become stronger.  I hope that you will hear Him speak to you.  I pray that we will all find the strength to do better.

Our week -

It has been an interesting week.  I found myself giving in to addiction.  Both the Queen and I were on vacation, but I, unlike the Queen, could not find things to occupy my time in the house.  So I went out and about, giving in to my weakness of working the side hustles.  Well, except for Monday when I babysat Gus-Gus and then on Friday and Saturday when I promised the Queen I would spend some time with her brainstorming.  It was a productive week.

The Professor worked for a couple days and then spent the holiday at home tending to Gus-Gus.

It was a joy to spend some time with Tall Man, Ehl-Bo, and Lego last night.  I loved learning little bits of sign from them.

We were so grateful to be able to spend a little time with Puddin and Lady Hawkins on Thursday.  Sometimes it is hard to share them with others, but understand that we must.

I was enlightened during our time with SnackPack.  We have missed having him pop in.  

I hope that we can see more of all of them again.
