Week twelve of memorization...six weeks late:(

Well, we fell off the wagon. I could give excuses but our family doesn't believe in making excuses so we'll go from here. We will be reviewing the last eleven scriptures to get back on track. We are working on memorizing all of the Articles of Faith before Taylor's 12th birthday. Today we worked on 7 & 8.

Articles of Faith:
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

Choose you this day....

Be Strong and of Good Courage was the lesson that was taught in Sunday School this morning. I learned that I need to step into the darkness with faith and the miracle will follow. This lesson touched my heart as we prepare to move our family of eight to Utah with no job and no home. When the Israelites were preparing to cross the Jordan River they were required to step into the water before the dry land appeared. (Joshua 3-4, 6). This same faith of the Israelites destroyed Jericho. Now it is my turn to show my faith in a loving Heavenly Father.

I know that Kelly and I have made the right decision. We have fasted, prayed and been to the temple. It is scary walking into the water but I know that it is the Lord's will and that He will provide the way. I know that He loves my family and will take care of us as long as we keep the commandments and stay focused on our eternal goal to return to Him.

The Israelites took 12 rocks from the bottom of the Jordan River to remember what the Lord did for them, we're taking our two Texas boys:)
