Revelations vs Own Thoughts???

Several weeks ago I felt strongly we should pray about several things.  One is selling our house the other was offering to help out with child care for a family member.  But things weren't what I originally thought they were in regards to child care.  I still feel strongly that we should be doing child care for this family member but, we are waiting for them to ask for help.  Because in the end I am not entitled to revelation for another person and second it would be sacrifice for us both financially and emotionally.  Much like sometimes we need to pray for things before they are given to us.  But the thought is still there and it is nagging me. 

I still feel strongly we should sell the house.  But we are waiting to pay off some debt.  I am decluttering and doing some deep cleaning and then when the time is right we will be where we need to be. At least that is the plan.

There is another thought that popped into my mind as we were on vacation this past week.  It is in regards to a calling for Lee.  They are adding three new wards to the stake on Sunday and I feel strongly about a calling they will extend him.  I prayed about it and I feel at peace about the whole thing. 

UPDATE:
Lee was not extended the calling I thought he would.  So was it my own thoughts?  Was it something that will happen at a later date?   I am honestly feeling discouraged.  I had so many things I thought were inspiration and now feeling that don't know how to read true inspiration.  Just overwhelmed with all of these thoughts I kept having that I really thought was from God.  Not sure how to take all these feelings and it is just a lot to take on.  Like everything is so in limbo.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
