Bed Day

I've had a dull headache for the last 3 days. Today it got worse, so I went to bed for most of the morning. I feel better now. I'm grateful I could slow down and get feeling better. I read ginger can help headaches, so I took some with my stevia lemonade. About an hour later my headache was gone. I'm grateful I feel so good most of the time. I'm really blessed to be able to take of my family, exercise, and do the things I love even during pregnancy.

Jaremy and I are planning a get away to celebrate my birthday. We are probably going to drive up to Tony Grove and then hike home. We will spend the evening recovering with a nice dinner and a hotel room right here in Logan. Oh, it sounds so nice to me!!! I'm way excited!!! Oh, by the way, the hike is over 24 miles long. I hope I can do it! Hey, why not! I'm only 7 months pregnant!

I'm also excited for General Conference! I pray I can follow the prophet with a willing, faithful heart!

Tony Grove Campout

We went on our annual Tony Grove campout with the Butler family the last few days. I barely said my prayers and didn't read my scriptures for three days we were there. Not a good thing! Reading the scriptures and really praying invites the Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit are love, understanding, tolerance, kindness, etc. Without the Spirit as my constant companion I became judgemental and frustrated with those who have chosen different lifestyles and values than I have. I really need the Spirit in my life every minute so I don't fall into traps of criticism and fault finding. It's been so nice to be home and be back to a somewhat normal day so I can read my scriptures and pray more easily. Although that is no excuse for not finding a way while camping. I have to repent of my neglect of spiritual things and my critical feelings and words. I'm grateful for repentance. I will be better!
