As I Walk Home

This evening was wonderful.  I was driving to Enrichment and got the impression to call my mom and see if she wanted to come.  I didn't call her though because I figured it's late and she wouldn't want to come out so late at night.  Then as I was passing her road 282nd I got the impression to call her again.  It then dawned on me that she was alone tonight because my Dad was at orchestra. I called her and invited her and she said she would come as soon as she finished eating.  I was so glad that I followed through on that prompting.  My mom numerous times thanked me for calling her.

This whole year in RS we are going on a journey together.  This month the focus is on prayer.  It's not meant to be one more thing on our to do list but one more helpful aide to help us grow spiritual individual and together.  I loved it!  So glad that our RS presidency spent so much time and effort putting this all together.  We are all aiming to be in the temple together in November.  There is even a little trek in August I believe which baby boy will attend with me and help make it all the more real.  So glad I've had experience nursing with the carrier and walking around (Addie in Paris).

It will be a very exciting year!  We even made a cute little plaque to help us remember our goal with a sweet poem written by our RS President's (Sheri Southworth) mother.

As I Walk Home

I struggle as I walk through life and try to find the way

When I lose sight and doubt my path,

I long for light of day.

I need to know just who I am and what I am to be.

My Savior knows, How can I find the plan He has for me?

There's something He would have me do,

if I but follow Him

But I can't find it by myself,

sometimes the road grows dim.

Eternity's so far ahead that I seem far behind,

The way to go had been prepared, It's up to me to find.

"Come follow me," O let me come.

I'll love the path you trod.

I need your help to trace the steps

that lead back home to God.

Please take my hand and shine your light 

and help me find the door

That enters in the Father's house to dwell forever more.
