Temple Lights

Earlier this month we spent an evening at the Washington DC Temple enjoying the Christmas lights. Madison, Emily, and Abigail spent part of the night partnered up with full-time sister missionaries being hosts at the Visitor's Center. I think they all had a good time being hosts and talking with all the people who were there to see the lights and enjoy the musical performances that night. 


While they were busy being junior missionaries, the rest of us wandered around the temple grounds. 




Sometimes silly, spooky things happen at night
Natalie forgot to bring her coat so we couldn't spend too much time outside before it was just too cold for her - the cute sweater dress wasn't nearly as warm as it looked!  Thankfully, there are plenty of things to see and do inside the Visitor's Center. The girls especially liked the interactive displays with games they could play and pictures to color.


We actually had two reasons to go to the temple that night, the girl's service as hosts and the chance to meet with our good friends from Germany, the Carsons. They are living in Virginia now and we were so happy for the opportunity to visit with them. Abigail was especially excited as their daughter Savannah is one of her dearest friends. I just wish I'd thought to get a picture of all of us! Next time, right?

Before we loaded up the car and headed back home I grabbed three willing beauties to take some pictures in the lights. The other two beautiful girls just wanted to get in the warm car and find a place to eat dinner!





Going to the see the lights at the Temple is definitely going to be a new Christmas tradition for our family. Merry Christmas!

What is Faith?

Image
What would you say if someone asked you what faith is? In Hebrews 11, Paul defined faith as "the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The assurance of things hoped for - faith is knowing that because of Jesus Christ, we can hope for a brighter future. I feel as if hope and faith are one and the same. Life can be heartbreakingly difficult sometimes and even though I know that challenges are there to help us learn and grow, I sure wish I didn't have to go through those hard times. When I have felt surrounded by struggles and I couldn't see any way that things would ever get better, the only thing that has kept me moving forward is hope. Not the kind of hope that is sort of wishful like hoping your team wins a World Cup game, but hope that is sure because it is based on Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ is having hope and knowing that His promises are sure.  The evidence of things not seen - faith in God grows when we see Him working in our...

Anxiety, Friendship, and Insecurity

This post has been kicking around in my head for a while now. My emotions have been closer to the surface lately - which can be both good and bad.  For a couple of weeks last month it was a bad thing and I found myself crying at pretty much everything and feeling alone and friendless even when I was surrounded by people. You'd think I'd be better at making friends after almost forty years of moving and having to form new connections at each new place. Instead, the older I get, the more difficult the process becomes. Even after I make friends deep down I question if we're really friends. I think these feelings of insecurity are part of what makes me willing to do almost anything for my friends. If I do nice things for you maybe you'll continue to tolerate my presence? I think I do a pretty good job hiding my insanity. I can fake confidence really well - smiling and laughing and making small talk. And then I go home and overanalyze and question every little thing I said...

Four Decades

Image
Birthdays are markers in our lives. Moving from one decade to another is a milestone that is not marked by an accomplishment or an important decision, but simply your age. That's something you can't control as time keeps moving forward whether we're ready for it or not. I can honestly say that I'm not bothered by turning forty and that I still look forward to my birthdays. But there's no denying that those milestone birthdays (you know the ones, they end in zero) are a big deal. A time that, for me, leads to some looking back to see if I've accomplished anything worthwhile in the previous decade of my life or in any of the decades of my life.  So I found photos of myself at all those other ages that end in zero. Maybe if I take it a decade at a time it will be easier to see what I've learned? Seriously, whose dog is this? Italy, 1981 Okay, this first one is already breaking the rules as it's not from a milestone birthday. I have two pictures...
