Journeying

 On Sunday my mom told me about Marianne's Relief Society lesson and I've been thinking about it ever since.

Here's what Nephi said in 1 Nephi 17: 

And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings. 

Laman and Lemuel had had the same experience and this what they said: 

... we have wandered in the wilderness for these many years; and our women have toiled, being big with child; and they have borne children in the wilderness and suffered all things, save it were death; and it would have been better that they had died before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered these afflictions. 

I have thinking about how I can be more Nephi and less Laman and Lemuel.

Here are my blessings from yesterday:

My classroom was pleasantly in the mid 70s all day.

A student brought me a peach that had been "picked yesterday."  It was SO good.  I got peach juice all over myself, but it was amazing.

Even though I didn't sleep super well (anxious about the PET scan--lack thereof), I had energy to survive the day.

Even though the internet was down and all the teachers were walking around before school with crazy eyes, we pulled together and figured out stuff to do sans internet.

And the internet came back by lunchtime.

I walked with Kim, which was so nice.  It's been over a month.  

Rod got home when we were chatting in their driveway so I talked to both of them for a few minutes.  We have such good neighbors.

Adam came home and made an amazing dinner.
