My mom is wise.
She always knows just what to say.
The other day she was chatting about how she loves the song "Consider the lilies". She said it is one of her favorite songs to listen to these days. She and my dad are serving a proselyting mission in Texas.
I hadn't listened to that song in a while.
I found a video someone made to the accompaniment of the MoTab choir singing.
It was heavenly. I cried. I cried over and over as I watched it over and over.
It touched me deeply.
I wondered how it pertains to my life right now.
Life is hard, I mean REALLY hard at the moment. But just because it is hard, it doesn't mean I am alone or forgotten. He carries my burden with me. He knows my trials.
I am not forgotten.
How did my mom know I needed to be reminded of these things?

My Guilty Pleasure
It's no secret that I LOVE photography. Growing up I enjoyed watching my dad play with his cameras and dreamed of one day being like him.
I sold all our furniture and anything that wasn't nailed down to get enough money to buy my camera. And it was worth every penny. The only stipulation I gave myself was that if we were going to spend all that money on a camera, then I sure as heck better learn how to use the thing.
So I'm not saying I'm Natalie K. or anything, but I think I've gotten better. I'm still working towards the goal of going back to school, but it may be a few years. So until then I'm faking it. And if you haven't noticed the link on my sidebar, I started a blog to track my journey. It's nothing huge, just a little spot to post successes and failures.
Hope you enjoy the ride.

LIFE
Alyson here. Just a quick update on life and how we are doing. Trevor is off to another job interview this morning. Only feels like the 157th one he's gone to. It gets discouraging after a while.
We put a new front door on the house last night. It looks awesome, but let in like 50 flies while the door was off. Logan and I have been on fly patrol ever since. He follows me around with the swatter. After I swat and kill a fly, he swats it and claims he was the one to kill it. Kids.
We gave up on selling our truck. It's listed $2000 below blue book and still haven't had anyone interested. Not even ONE e-mail. No one wants a truck these days. This truck has been a huge blessing to our family and I hate to see it go, but we need something bigger and with better gas mileage!
Phoebe's blessing will be this weekend. If anyone is in the area, e-mail me and I'll tell you where our building is.
