Worried Momma

This mother-to-be is a worry-wort.  Among other things, I worry about how I'm going to take care of this baby in a tiny apartment that isn't heated well.  I worry about how we're going to pay all the medical bills that this delivery is going to bring.  I worry about how we'll afford the basic things that a baby needs.  It really stresses me out.  It makes me feel like "I've made a huge mistake."  But I had a little inspiration come to me the other night.  Starting the Book of Mormon over again, I finally got to chapter 3.  You all know the famous, scripture mastery verse "Go and Do."  I got past that part, and read about how when Laman got chased off he and Lemuel wanted to go home. Nephi in effect said they were going to stay and keep the Lord's commandments.  Then I reread the go and do verse (1 Nephi 3:7) and was struck with a thought.  Having this baby is a commandment.  We are commanded to multiply and replenish the earth.  Reading Nephi's testimony that the Lord will help us to fulfill His commandments gave me the comfort I needed to realize the everything will be ok.  At this moment, I cannot see how everything will work out. But I know that I am in the Lord's care, and so I know it will all work out.

Feeling Lonely

With no job and only my dog to keep me company for 13 hours straight, I am feeling really lonely.  I have some happy news that I found out yesterday.  If you would like to know, I would like you to contact me.  Call me, text me, email me, chat with me on Facebook...  I just need to know that the people I love care about me.
