Letting go and getting out of the way...

We had the opportunity this evening to go to ward temple night this evening.  Thanks to my mom for watching our children.  We even had the opportunity to be "the" couple.  We have never had that opportunity in 14 years of marriage.  I am grateful for it.  I got to sit next to a girl I knew from a long time ago.  She is having a baby, it is a girl.  She looked so cute pregnant!  As I sat in the temple and contemplated our future, I realize more and more I am probably in the way of the plan the Lord has for us.  So in the simple words of a girl I work with, Ruth, you need to just get out of the way.  I am sure of this now.  I need to just let go and let the Lord work his plan in our lives.  NO news yet as to what might be in store for our family, but we continue to work at it, pray and have faith that something works out for us.

Last night, we had the opportunity to go up to Girls Camp.  I am so grateful for the experience of being there with the girls with their wonderful spirits and partake in the spirit that was there.  It is so peaceful there.  Just sit in the trees and feel the spirit.  It made me wish I had gone to Girls Camp more than just the 3 years I did go.  I hope the girls can find the happiness they all are looking for.  I hope they find it in the right places and not the wrong ones. It can be a hard go of it as a teenager, especially for girls.  They are so impressionable.

I pray everyday that we find the right way for our family to go.  That we are able to find a bigger house we can afford, that we can provide for them the things they need, be able to take them out of town some.  Just the small things that make the daily grind a little less crazy...
