Murdock's Musings: WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

The Days of our Lives

4.14 K pitched during his game & did great. I had to share at a RS night how I was spiritually prepared for my trials. It was difficult, but I think everyone felt the Spirit. I also was inspired to think about "spiritual love languages" and knowing how the Lord speaks to us individually. Gained insight into my own p. blessing as I was preparing.
4.15 Helped in D's class & took home packets to grade. Reminded me of my teaching days. :)
4.16 My VT came over & taught an inspired lesson about patience. Diana braided ruby's hair into a crown & Tiara brought pretty pink g. daisies.
4.17 Went to the Kennedy Gold Mine with Kaleb's class. I love that he still holds my hand & wants to hang out with me in front of his friends.
4.18 Baseball Sat. Both boys had games that overlapped. Ben got home after 10 pm from Philly, thankful for where we live.
4.19 Taught about the importance of the B of M. Shared my fave scripture, by small & simple things great things shall come to pass.
4.20 Ruby's the best one in her dance class. Met the boys at R. Robin for dinner.
4.21 FINALLY got my hair done again. Ben & I went out after kids were in bed & got some See's.
4.22 Caught up on g. shopping. K & D both had games & Ben had to run Pack NIght all at the same time. D hit 2 doubles, a single & learned not to throw his bat. K hit a double, too. Also got hit pretty hard in the calf.
4.23 Went to a fun surprise baby shower for Tiara & spent the night eating yummy food & having fun with girlfriends. Hike with Roxy.
4.24 Helped plant seeds in Ruby's class. Kids had friends over after school. Date nite w/ Ben. He finally took me to a girl movie: The Age of Adeline. Over dinner he told me more about his promotion as COO & that he negotiated a million shares in stock. (out of 8 m). He seems pretty excited.
4.25 Bball games rained out, spent the day catching up around here, riding bikes & playing catch. We told the kids about Ben's promotion & moving to TN this summer. They took it really well.
4.26 Finally changed blog to private & felt impressed to journal about spiritual things & just our lives in general again. It's been too long & WAY too much has happened.

words to live by...

President Hinckley used this quote by Jenkins Lloyd Jones in a talk he gave while I was in college. It always stayed with me and I try to remember it when life doesn't seem to go according to my plan (basically all the time!). “Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed.

"The fact is most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. …

“Life is like an old-time rail journey—delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed.

“The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride” (“Big Rock Candy Mountains,” Deseret News, 12 June 1973, A4).
