Harvest

Just some of Matthew's harvest!!!

Answers

Matthew and I recently found out that we will be moving to Texas. This has been a very hard pill for me to swallow. I do not want to leave my home. I have never lived in a house as long as I have lived here in this home. I have brought three of my babies to this home after their arrival into this beautiful world. I live next door to my mom, both of us on three quarters of the block. We call it our little corner of the world. I love that I can watch my kids walk all the way to school because its just across the street. I feel safe and happy here! My husband needs a better job though. His job here is good for now but when babies become teenagers it wont be enough. I would love to help to bring in more income but our promise to never not have mommy at home prevents that. So we move. I have been searching for an understanding to all of this because the other promise Matthew and I made for ourselves was to never move for money, leaving family behind.
This Sunday I was sitting in church and while the sacrament was being passed I asked Heavenly Father why I was being sent somewhere I didn't want to be and if he would help me to understand his plan. I sat through the next speaker listening to his words. I have never said a prayer and expected an instant answer but I have also never said a prayer and waited for the answer. I was waiting this time, hoping I might find comfort in his words and plan for me and my family. As the next speaker began to talk.....I felt the spirit rush over me. The speaker was talking about Temples.. completely clear I heard the Holy Ghost tell me "That is why...Laura... you must leave and make more money so that you and Matthew can pay your tithing...become worthy Laura...so that you may seal your family in the temple and be sealed to the man you love for all time and eternity." I felt the warmth of the spirit and I felt what I heard was true...and I felt I understood God's plan for me.Then again it spoke "Laura... I can only give you the means to serve me...I cannot make you do it..it is up to you to make the choice and to make this happen...I love you and I want this for you...you are my daughter" I sat there and began to cry hoping no one noticed because the speakers wasn't saying anything too moving. Matthew and I have never made enough to pay our tithing. I know that we should pay it anyway and he will provide the way for us. I just couldn't allow Matthew to pay a tithing and then ask the church to pay another of our bills we couldn't pay, even if that is how the church would prefer it. Because of this Matthew and I have never been worthy to go to the Temple. I know my Heavenly Fathers plan, and I am so thankful that I can feel his love and know that what I am doing is the right thing. This is a blessing... for me... so that I might be sealed to my family and my husband.Finally there is light at the end of my dark tunnel.

Babies

Summer is so busy with all the kids being home. I have not had time to think at all about anything but them. I wanted to take a minute though and welcome into the world my new little niece, Lucy Fitzgerald Weaver. Lucy was born on the 11 of August, she is 20 inches long and weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. She has wavy brown hair with very full cheeks. This is my brother Dustin's first baby and I congratulate him and his beautiful wife Lauren. I can't wait to meet her and love her! This is the second baby we have had the blessing of joining our family this year. Little Mollie Grace Weaver joined us 3 months ago and was born to my other brother Stuart and his wife Caitlin, she is their first also. I am so excited for my brothers and hope with their new families they can see why I have five of my own children. They are such great blessings! I love my family so much and hope to meet both of these little princesses soon!!!!!
