Personal Progress with Natalie

Natalie just turned twelve.  She is determined to earn her Personal Progress in one year.  She is amazing!  She already has developed so many of the qualities of a righteous woman.  She is anxiously engaged in a good cause.  She can do so much in a day, a lot like my mom.  She has tremendous energy and focus.  Yet along the way she thinks about others and instinctively helps them.  Natalie is always happy; her smile is contagious.  She has such a loving, fun personality.  She is a planner, an organizer.  There is nothing she can't do.  And she does it all with a baby on her hip and a smile on her face.  I watch her everyday and pray I can be more like her.  Natalie, I love you so much!  I'm so grateful Heavenly Father let you be my daughter; you are a beautiful blessing!!!

Natalie has also encouraged me to earn my Personal Progress along with her.  That's going to be a challenge, because she is hard to keep up with.  Right now we are working on having the faith to say our prayers, morning and night.  As I've taken a bit more time to communicate with Heavenly Father I've felt His Spirit and encouragement more.  Prayer is such a blessing!
