One of my worries that I have been having is that Phoenix doesn't have a bed. Yeah it was a sort of joke about him sleeping on the floor but the solution didn't really so to work. Then a small miracle happened this morning. Mike's mom called to say that she stopped into a garage sale and found a Little Tikes bed that was a car. She said it was $10 and if I wanted it. I didn't have to think twice. With a son that is obsessed with cars it would perfect plus with a perfect price tag. When she was done with her grocery shopping she brought the bed to my house and the kids and I cleaned it up. After it was all washed, it shined. Phoenix was so excited say that he had a "QUEEN QUEEN bed" Then I felt like a little light bulb went on in my head that I was really blessed to have a MIL that would look out for my family and I. That yeah the bed was something small but that meant that I didn't have to go and get something new for a little longer and the ultimate goal of trying to get out of debt might be achieved. WOW! I started to cry a little about how the Lord really is blessing me with all the things that I have. I think my little pity party is over. Saturday, June 28, 2008
My Joy is full
I have trying to be more diligent in reading my scriptures. I was reading in Alma and in chapter 29 I came across this scripture. I thought it was great because you know how they say you should apply them to yourselves, I read the verse several times and then instead of man I put woman. So the verse goes. "But behold, I am a woman and do sin in my wish; for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me." It was the perfect answer to my little pity party I was having for myself. Thinking that life is getting a little to hard for me to take. I feel like a complain a little to much and I'm sorry for those readers that read this but I was feeling exhausted and just didn't want to keep up the routine anymore, I was mad that when I get home everyone is in bed and was regretting the choice to work more. Even though I work more I feel like I get more carried away with shopping, that lets face it weren't that important. I am tired and feel a little wore out from things that were happening and at work. So when I read that scripture I felt bad that I haven't been content with the things that the Lord has given me.

Turst me, you're not the only one that needs to read that scripture! I can't tell you how many times I feel sorry for myself for how much I feel like I have to work (which sounds like it's a lot less than you). And then I realize how grateful I am that I do have a job and that we are able to make ends meet (most of the time :)). Thanks for sharing that scripture. I should probably write it in huge vinyl lettering on my bathroom mirror b/c being content is something I struggle with daily. Oh, and nice score on the bed, it's those little answers to prayer that make all the difference.
