Job

I fasted today for guidance on whether or not I should quit my WGU job.  The answer, "Don't quit."   I feel a little torn. Mike doesn't necessarily think I should  keep working because of the stress it can cause and the time constraint I frequently feel.  He is supportive, however.

I am working on my relationship with Michaela.   She mentioned that she feels like I don't really love her at times.  I am to blame for that.  She and I are so very different and I have allowed it to create a wedge between us.  I keep remembering that it is a parent's love that helps us come to feel the love of Heavenly Father.  I yearn to be the kind of parent that because of my love and compassion for my children, they will yearn to know God and Christ because of me.

One of the things that has helped me this week is that I have been listening to the scriptures on my iPhone as I take the kids back and forth to school.  It has really helped bring the Spirit into my life.  I know that if I keep the Spirit with me, I will be able to keep my temper under control and create a more peaceful atmosphere at home.  My mom is a good example of not losing her temper.  I appreciate her for that.

Mike and I were extended a new calling in our new ward today.  We will be Primary teachers together.  It should be a good calling to do together.  I enjoy doing that kind of thing with him.  I love him so very much.  I am so very blessed to have a marriage that brings me the kind of peace and serenity I would hope every else could experience.  It is because of his ability to love so unconditionally.  I do not know why he loves as much as he does.  He gives much and expects little in return.
