The Lord Always Does His Part

We ARE blessed! Our finances worked out! After much stress, phone calls and paper work (along with prayers of course) we were able to make our house payments lower by $500 though a loan modification! There is a trial period for 3 months and then we will see how our payments are permanently.
If we had qualified for the refinance, then we would have only saved $200 a month. This modification effects our credit scores but is definitely going to benefit us in the long run. We are so grateful. Things work out when we wait, pray and do everything we can!

We are doing our part

My husband and I have been so blessed. As we have been struggling to get our finances in order, we know we are led and we will find the right solutions. We have opened the opportunities and we know we will be guided to pick the right thing for us.

Baptism Promises

My oldest child was baptized and confirmed on Saturday. It was so neat to be reminded of the same promises I made when I was eight. As we talked to her about our Savior, we can tell she understands and she wants to be part of the gospel.
As tears threatened my eyes throughout the ordinance and program, I am so grateful for my own testimony and that Samantha knows what I know. There is no greater feeling than knowing I've shared the TRUTH with my daughter! I am so proud of her and I know she knows how important the choice she made to be baptized is.
Sunday, I was so excited to bear my testimony and say that I know being baptized is the right thing. Jesus is my Savior and we can make it back to our Heavenly Father.
