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.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
