Garden

Today I am thankful for two things.... email and gardens...

I am thankful for the intervention of the email and the simplicity it allows us to communicate in.....

My aunt whom I lived with during my high school days has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer, and she emailed  all the family members an update about how she is doing.  Even though she has scene brighter days, I appreciate the fact that she took the time to update us.... and thus allowing us to pray for her specific needs at this time.

 And there is the garden...although simple, it is producing food for us to enjoy.

We planted the garden shortly after arriving to this city, in the desert. Our romaine lettuce is ready to be harvested. Today we had a salad with the lettuce for lunch. The lettuce tastes so much better straight out of the garden then from a store. So good that yesterday I ate the lettuce- PLAIN! No other mixture of fruits and vegetables, or fattening salad dressings... just the good old lettuce.

We can see little tiny tomatoes starting to sprout from our 4 tomatoes bushes.... my husband was ecstatic when he made the discovery of the first little one sprouting.

I have been told that its hard and very tricky to grow a garden here- so I can't help but think that our Eternal Father is having something to do with it. After all, it has survived several deep freezes.

Welcome Aboard!

Okay.... Well... I felt impressed that I should start a new, public blog about my journey that I am currently on...

Let me give you a snapshot into my life:


Raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, therefore was baptized at the age of 8.

Always struggled with being active in the church....

Except for four short years when I had the privilege of living with my Aunt and Uncle and their large family during my high school years where I was completely submerged in the faith.

While attending the community college I met the man of my dreams and had a fairy-tail-happily-ever-after wedding. We were sealed for time and all eternity in the Fresno California temple, December 13, 2007. Which was the anniversary of my adoptive mom's death.

Got slapped in the face, and HARD, by something called INFERTILITY.

Moved to sin city to better ourselves and attend a university.

I had been having terrible doubts in any higher being. I have suffered so incredibly much, and therefore doubted the existence of God. But who hasn't, right?

A few months back I made the resolution to find the faith that I have once that I once loved. This is referring to the love of my eternal Father, and the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. And to get myself active once again in the LDS church.

This blog was created so that everyday I may find something good in my life, and hopefully come to recognize a higher being in my life.  Feel free to follow along in this incredible journey I have embarked on.
