Hey y'all!

I hope y'all enjoyed your Thanksgivin' and are starting to put your trees up! Sister Wall and I decorated last night!

This week was different, it seemed like either everyone had their family over or no one was home. I'm also a little sick right now, so I am trying to get better soon.

We had family home evening on Sunday night and our lesson was on the talk "What Lack I Yet?". I love the fact that we are all literally here on earth because we're trying to become something greater, like our Father in heaven! It's even cooler that all we have to do to get there, is ask Him what we need to work on and then actually work on it. That night I discovered three things that I can work on, but I also gained a new perspective about fear.

The man we are teaching is afraid to be baptized, because he doesn't know if he can commit to the change. Change is uncomfortable, but there is no growth in the comfort zone! That night I finally understood why he is afraid, because I was hesitant to ask Heavenly Father "What Lack I Yet". How could I be afraid to change, when I know the end point is more glorious than where I started? The answer I came to is one word, fueled by Satan... doubt. We can walk with faith or walk with doubt, chances are doubt is going to take us a whole lot longer to get where we want to be.

I felt I already knew what the answer would be, but to my surprise it was not even close. I was only looking at the end point, rather than the little things I could do that would lead me there. Heavenly Father doesn't expect any of us to be perfect tomorrow, that would be like planting a seed and expecting it to be a tree the following day. Instead, He provides the environment and tools necessary to nourish and strengthen our seed so one day at a time we can grow a little bit more.

After the lesson was over, we prayed and asked about something we are good at. The Spirit is just so wonderful to me. I am so grateful for our Father in heaven because He literally knows us each individually. He only gives us what we can handle, because He wants us to be successful! He knows how we can get there, and He wants to help us. 

I love y'all! Have a blessed week.
