Something beyond ourselves...

  "Id never dated a guy who was so passionate about something beyond me or himself.  It was clear that Andre's first priority was not me; it was his relationship with Jesus Christ.  That made him all the more attractive to me."  -Sydney Mclaughlin (about her husband) I just finished reading her book about her life, her running career, and her relationship with God that helped her overcome living life in fear and replace it with faith. It's inspiring.  I think it's called. "Far beyond gold" or something like that. My eighth grade daughter has been reading it too. 

you're not alone

  "Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us" -Elisabeth Elliot (trek 2024) When Henry was leaving for a basketball camp last summer, he was going with coaches and players but not a lot of supervision.  I said to him, "I don't know about this, who is going to watch over you while you're gone?"  He rplied, "God will"  so with that answer, i let you him go!  

Run for God

"My Jesus things" -Abigail

  "Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard." -Nephi "The stories of Jesus shared over and over bring faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strength to the foundation of testimony.  Can you think of a more valuable gift for our children?" -Elder Neil L. Andersen At church on Sunday Abigail received her emblem of  belonging ring.  It was a little loose, so we had to tighten it a bit.  That evening i noticed it wasn't on her finger anymore so i asked if it fell off.  She said, "Oh, i put it with my Jesus things"  So then she showed me where she keeps her "Jesus things" on her dresser.  So endearing!!
