new for 2010

Sorry, I tried to post pictures yesterday and it didn't work. Can I just say I hate missing Church? Some people love it, I hate it. It really helps give me the boost I need to get through the week happily--even though most of the time I choose not to do it happily. I really hate being sick! But, one good thing came from it. The lesson I was supposed to teach was on how well we know the Savior. It got me thinking, how well do I personally know my Savior. I haven't been great about reading the scriptures the last little while, definitely something I'm going to be working on. I started reading back further on the ones the lesson had outlined and found myself reading all about the Savior in the book of St. John. I read almost the whole book and couldn't put it down! It really touched me and helped me understand His life and mission a little better and makes me want to be that much better. I think this year that will be my goal is to be a little better and get to know Him better that I might be a little more like Him. I read today that Tegan is still in the hospital, it's been a couple of weeks now. She's not doing so well and they only have 4 weeks of chemo to go! Please keep her and her family in your prayers, I'm sure it's frustrating for a 2 year old to be in a hospital bed for 12 days straight and imagine yourself as her mother watching your child but not being able to do anything about it. Pregnancy adds a whole other level of it's own hormonal ups and downs, plus the holidays. It's just a really hard time for them right now. Please remember them. We all have so much to be greatful for. I loved what President Hinckley used to say, "try a little harder to be a little better." My new motto for this year. Now help me stick to it!
