Missionary Son - Sacrifice - Our Family Photo
My only son, Andrew, entered the Provo Missionary Training Center this past week. I'm still eagerly awaiting his first letter home. I'm SO happy for him to be able to serve. The blessings for us all are great. Service to the Lord always brings greater blessings than the sacrifice required but, yes, the sacrifice is real and it is great.
Until I had a missionary of my own (Amber served two years ago and recently returned home) I didn't know, for myself, the tears that would be shed in departure. It was much harder on me than I thought it was going to be.
And, it was hard again with Andrew. He's my beloved and only son. His tender heart, joy, hard work, example, personality and amazing computer skills will be greatly missed. In short, it's a big sacrifice to send him out but...I wouldn't want it any other way. I know he will grow, serve, love, learn, develop and come back a better man. I am happy for him in a way that only other missionary moms know. But, I'm still 'processing' through the emotions that are part of letting-go and giving a child to the service of the Lord.
I posted about him on our family blog if you want to read more.
On this site I just wanted to thank my sister for taking our family photo on a very cold and windy day last week - before Andrew left. She was kind to do so and...it was very appreciated.
Much love to you all,
Heidi

STOP Everything and Watch Conference!
STOP Everything -- and Watch the WORLDWIDE General Conference today and tomorrow! Sincerely seek and pray to know that the things they (Prophets of God and other Church leaders) are teaching are correct. Be humble and teachable. Listen with an open heart and mind and....ask in faith, nothing wavering (James 1:6), and....the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon your souls and testify to you that these things are indeed true. And...Blessed be the name of God because of them!

"Just Build Up the Kingdom of God" - Glenn Beck
I was only in the car for 6 minutes this morning as I drove my 15 yr. old daughter to a class. After I dropped her off I turned on the radio to hear Glenn Beck for my 3 minute ride home - which I often do - to get my fix for the day. (I love and appreciate that good man.) It wasn't by chance that this occurred. I'm grateful for miracles that the Lord provides each day!
He was sharing a brief message and then leaving for the day. His thoughts centered around recent prayers at church as he diligently sought guidance and direction from the Lord (one of the reasons I love him so; and for the integrity of his heart.)
He talked of how he sincerely desired to know the Lord's will and that, as he prayed he received the witness to "Just Build Up the Kingdom of God, and everything else will fall into place." Instead of continuing to vent the frustrations that so many feel - of our current domestic and global events, he now will focus more on the things that matter most; and the peace and safety we can each feel as we turn to the Lord and away from pride and selfishness and anger. He will still keep us informed, yet focus more on what we can proactively do to get our own lives in order.
