We found out last month that we are having a boy at the end of June! At the same time I was blessed with a new job opportunity through St Joseph's Hospital in Greensboro Ga and a weekend job at Doctor's Hospital in Augusta. The reason(s) that I begin this post with such boasting is that it reminds me at what our Heavenly Father blesses each and every one of us with and even moreso what He expects of us.
Darrel has one year left in his program and then he'll be able to sit for his registry and begin work. We've been able to make ends meet with help from our families at integral times and now we've been afforded the opportunity to become self-reliant and give back to those who have offered help in the past.
Heavenly Father has given us trials so that we can strengthen or testimonies and faith in the gospel. I am awestruck at the blessings and tools He gives unto us so that we can overcome these trials that we face. I can't believe the ways that blessing come to us as we magnify our callings and follow his commandments. I am far from being good at magnifying my callings or perfectly following commandments, but when I put forth an earnest effort and ask for strength to compensate for my weaknesses I am able to see blessings in many shapes and forms and I realize that Heavenly Father will guide our lives if we allow Him to do so.
Here is our picture of our newest addition (no name has been agreed on at this time)
Paris!
