Hello again friend.
Things have been busy. The kids and I had a great spring break trip to Northern CA to see Jacob's brother Christian and his family and had a fabulous time.
I finished up two first year Let's Play Music classes and held a recital.
The girls and Tommy all played a sport or two this spring- soccer, volleyball, and track as well as attended a few cooking classes and continued with piano lessons and had a recital.
And then I left them in the care of our lovely friend and babysitter Rebekah and went on a trip to Israel for two weeks with my mom.
I think I could write a dozen blogposts from that experience alone.
I am {mostly} looking forward to summer and having kids around, fewer schedules, more daylight hours and time.
And maybe being able to write some more.
I started to read the Book of Mormon again from the beginning and was grateful to reread this experience of Nephi, especially as I contemplate my role as a widowed mother.
He had received instruction from God that he didn't quite know how to accomplish. Nephi was willing to act, but didn't have all the information or know exactly how to get it done.
But he started the journey and recounts that "I was led by the spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless, I went forth."
I really feel like that is often how it works for me.
I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I don't have all of the answers. But I am willing and I can go forth and trust that the spirit will lead me, and all of us, on this journey that we're on.
