This sign should be hanging on my front door. It has been a wild, crazy and disgusting night/morning in the Lee house. Ashlynn has had some sort of stomach bug that has resulted in 2 changes of bed sheets and now she is wearing pull-ups (to save me some laundry and her some embarrassment).
Because of this sickness we were unable to go to church this morning. I am feeling very discouraged about my resolution to prepare for the temple this year. How am I supposed to prepare to go to the temple when I can't even manage to make it to church? I am trying to stay positive but I fell like this is Satan attacking my family. When I decided to get baptized the same things happened, all heck broke loose in my life. If it could go wrong, it did. Now with planning to go to the temple, and Kyle being gone it is starting all over again. I realize that I am vulnerable but I am trying so hard to not be. I guess the only thing I can do for now is pray. I would appreciate your prayers too. I know we will get over whatever this bug is but I am afraid of what will be on the other side of it...
I will pray especially hard for you, Kyle, and your kiddos!!! I will put your names in the temple (maybe multiple) too. I think you're right, Satan wants you to FAIL and he wants you to be MISERABLE and he wants you to quit. You've set a wonderful goal that Heavenly Father, I KNOW, is pleased with. Remember to pray and He'll come to your aid (my patriarchal blessing says that... the Lord will petition my aid as long as I turn to Him). And you CAN make it to church. I know you can. One thing you can start including in your prayers is that you and your children will be healthy and well each and every Sunday so that you can attend church (where you are missed!!).
ReplyDeleteLove you lots. See you soon. :)
Wow. We totally had this over Christmas!!! Must be going around! :) Hope you're all over it now--it goes pretty quickly. It's just horrific...YOU know! ;)
ReplyDeletePS: God knows your heart and your desires. He doesn't judge your physical placement on Sunday morning due to sickness, etc. :) If you have to take care of your family, that is top priority!!!
