I just want to add this little note, that for a little over a week I have been saying my prayers in the evening and reading my scriptures everynight, even when Spencer was home. I'm only reading about a chapter a day, and I feel like my prayers aren't much, but I am trying to get back into the habit. Some days I don't remember much if anything at all about what I read, but today I really noticed a difference. Usually everynight I can not wait for the girls to go to bed, and I get really frustrated by them if they are clingy or if Isabell won't go to bed. I just get really impatient with them. Tonight I noticed I didn't do that really at all today. Isabell actually played in my room most of the night (after I put Ellie to bed). At first I was on the phone with Spencer and she had been given a glow stick necklace and came in to show me then turned off the lights; it didn't bother me at all. She would turn on the lights then turn them off, she even came over to me and put it on my head. I actually enjoyed/appreciated her being around me and playing so nicely. Usually I would have been frustrated and upset with her. Then she wanted to listen to her Primary CD so I let her, and she sang most of the words to most of the songs. And on the song "I'm trying to be like Jesus" she sat down and was acting kinda sad, so I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "I just miss Jesus so much." and "I really love Jesus." I LOVED hearing her say that and hearing her sing all those songs about Jesus and Heavenly Father. It's just so sweet and you can feel it bring the Spirit in. I just hope and pray that I can do my part and help her grow up strong in the Gospel.
