Becoming

Yesterday we went to my BIL's ward becasue he was called as the new bishop. The old bishops wife spoke about how she is sad to have her husband released because she has seen so many blessings come from his willingness to serve. When Ryan was called into the bishopric the old 2nd counselor said similar things and at the time it was a huge comfort to me. I was feeling overwhelmed with the thought of going to church every Sunday without the help of Ryan. To losing him all day Sunday and also Wednesday nights. But her words helped me to see that we too would be blessed in ways I had not even imagined.

As I pondered on this yesterday my mind begin to be opened to the blessings we have already received. We have moved to a bigger more comfortable house and to a better school. Ryan and I's relationship has improved and our love seems to be felt even more then it already was. I have learned how to be more organized and less stressed. I am learning how to play with the kids and enjoy life more. I have been given the calling at church to teach the youth sunday school and it has been my favorite so far. I could go on and on.

It feels as though the sun has just come over the mountains and I am finally becoming the person I have always wanted to be. And that is because my husband is willing to give so much time to the Lord we are being blessed more then imagined. I feel so blessed beyond what I had hoped for and I can understand why someone would not want to loss out on service opportunities.

Strange to say that in such a short period of time we could be blessed so much. Can't wait to see what the years to come hold in store for us!

SO my word for the month of July and possibly the rest of the year- Becoming!
