Don't Go Mommy.

I told P that I wasn't going to be here tomorrow to play with him but that he would have so much fun with Daddy, and Granny, and Grandma & Grandpa. I thought he wouldn't think much of it, but his reply was:

"Mommy, Don't Go." Said in such a sweet, quiet, sincere voice it almost brought me to tears.

Instead I chuckled (you had to see his facial expression to understand the chuckle) and asked why not. And then he said, "Because I love you Mommy."

Almost made me change my mind. Such a cutie!

He then kept saying it, "Don't go Mommy, because I love you."

I was hoping to be asleep an hour and a half ago ... o-well. 2 am is going to come REALLY quickly!

I still can't believe it is already here. I am filled with much excitement and nervousness. But honestly I cant stop thinking about how the kids will do. It is so ironic to me too because the past two days have been the kind of days that make me want to go on a month long vacay without the kiddos and yet at the same time, if I even step foot out the door for 10 seconds and am longing to see their adorable little faces and ask them what they did those whole 10 seconds I was gone. And then also there are great moments like today with P that make me want to just hold them and never let go. Being a mom really is something else. It tries us to our cores no doubt about it, but there truly is no better job in the world! I'm going to miss my little rascals while I'm out on this adventure. No doubt I will be thinking about them the whole time, but I am excited to get out there, be me, have fun, and run. What a great adventure it will be! I'll be sure to tell you all about!

I'm so anxious about so many things! I hope I can fall asleep tonight.

Wish me luck!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
