How heavy would it be?


Brant was just called to be the 1st counselor in the Bishopric.  Wait… what first of all aren’t we a little young? (ok we aren’t that young) next have you seen my kids at church and you want the regulator to sit on the stand?  After we accepted the call we were leaving the stake president’s office and as we thanked him I said it felt like thanking a cop after you get a ticket.  The next day was Heath’s first pinewood derby. 

Brant’s parents came for the first Sunday and as we visited while Brant was in meetings.  I expressed feeling overwhelmed and just didn’t think I could take one more thing, I am not handling what we have now and more is on the way, I was feeling stuck (I don’t handle it well).  Brant picks up the slack I realize I am very spoiled and I don’t share well.  My husband is so much like his dad!  My father-in-law referenced Mosiah 24:14 reassuring me (something I always need) that the Lord would ease the burdens put upon my shoulders.  When life gets tough I will remember how much heavier it would be without being yoked with Christ.   
I also have been having migraines again and just not feeling well in general but I will spare you those details.  Brant and his dad gave me a blessing I can’t describe the peace I felt in these words “Healed” “My family would be amazed.”  Brant and I both had tears in our eyes.  I will be holding to those words as I square my shoulders for this load and amaze my family—Faith in His words.
