18 April 2013

1. Got sandals for the boys.
2. Applied for boys' passports.
3. Swept/blowed(/blew?) the driveway.
4. Did the dishes.
5. Wrote down some cute things about the kids in the Mommy Journal from Amanda.

While I did the dishes today I felt a lot of love from Heavenly Father. I heard the words repeat in my head, "you are successful." I spend a lot of time comparing myself to others. People seem to be so good at what they do. Their houses are clean, they travel a lot, their kids eat well, speak well, etc. I believe all of that is still true, but today I felt like I, too, am a success. I am a mother--the profession I have always sought. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful children who love me and whom I love greatly. My parents are awesome and my in-laws are, too! I am so blessed!
