Christ in 2016

I've decided to do something daily that has to do with Christ in the upcoming year. It will be something I read, watch, listen to...maybe an act of service or some other action that brings me closer to Him. I did 25 Days of Christ for December and think I will do it again next year. I thought I would continue with a full year of 'Days of Christ'. We'll see how it goes. I'm not exactly sure where I will record what I do. It might be here, another blog, or possibly on other social media. I might just write in my journal about it. Or, I might have some days where I don't write anything at all. Here's to a new adventure.

Full of Guidance

I just watched this. It was just what I needed. I'm sure I will be watching it again. It's a BYU Devotional by Elder F. Enzio Busche. I love the German accent. I remember meeting him and his wife when they came to visit our mission. (Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission) They are great. I decided then that besides being inspired...he and his wife both have a great sense of humor.

Power of the Priesthood

I was singing to the girls tonight. I sang the song that has part of the lyrics - 'mine is a home where every hour is blessed by the strength of Priesthood power...'. I thought about that and was glad that even though we don't have the authority of the Melkezedek Priesthood in our home right now, we do have the Aaronic Priesthood. I also realized that even if we didn't have the authority of the priesthood in our home, we would still have the power of the priesthood here. All of us have made covenants and because of that we have the power of the priesthood to work with in our family. I'm so grateful to know there is a difference between the power of the priesthood and the authority of the priesthood. They both play their roles. I'm so thankful for both in our lives.

Always A Lesson

I had issues with my cell phone today. We also had a couple of people helping with our broken sprinklers (fixing pipe). I'm feeling a bit flustered. I feel like there are so many things going on right now that I really can't handle anything else. And then, more issues come up. I don't know why. I feel like someone somewhere is continuing to add to the pile of concerns just to see when I'll break. Maybe it's to see when I'll ask for more help. (Although, I'm not sure what I would ask others to do that I haven't already.) I feel like I'm being tested somehow. Let's see what really will be the last straw - just as an entertaining experiment. That's what I feel like someone is saying right now. I wonder if Heavenly Father truly thinks I can manage everything effectively right now. I'm not. So, why give me more?
I'm sure there's a lesson or an analogy in there somewhere. I'm just so busy wondering what's going on and what will happen next that I'm not even sure I can come up with anything right now. Maybe I'll wait to post this until I can state a purpose.
