The Scriptures Rock!


For whatever reasons, I have had a really tough winter. Plus, I really hate the snow and the cold! I have good days, but sometimes life can be just crappy. Thankfully, I found a scripture that has helped me to feel better.

Alma 36:3 reads:

"...whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, in their troubles, and in their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."

I really needed that today. I am so grateful for the scriptures. They can definitely help push away gray clouds and reveal a beautiful sunny day! I know that trials are meant to help us become better, stronger...more Christ-like. And thank goodness for the scriptures to help us get through those storms!...and these crazy Iowa winters! :)

Our sweet and silly Emma

Emma is very sweet and very silly. Today she brought me a pizza sheet and wanted to sit on it on my lap!





Emma really enjoys rearranging our DVDs...She thinks they look better on the floor.



Emma thinks that the silverware holder in the dishwasher is a purse. Her favorite things to carry around in there are sprinkles containers!
