The Lunceford Children

This is my sweet niece, Baby Ashlin,

with her handsome Big brothers, Jaxson & Caidyn.

Thank you Matt & Britani for the adorable pictures.

I wonder…

Julia picked out these shoes herself a few months ago. I tried to talk her out of them because it was hard to imagine my little Princess wearing skater shoes like her Uncle Mark! Julia is 9 years old & wears a size 8. I wonder if she will wear a size 11 by the time she is 11 years old? Could she be that lucky? My shoe size is 11 & it has been since I was 11. I have told her that we could share shoes & she thinks that is just gross. What do you think?

♥♥♥ General Conference was a feast of spiritual proportions. ♥♥♥ It was a privilege to hear what the Lord would say if he were here. I know that the messages of general conference can change my life if I am willing to follow the counsel I hear. This is the first time I have recorded all 4 sessions, thanks to TiVo. I am glad that I don't have to wait for the Ensign to read the parts that I missed, or the talks that I loved, I can watch it whenever I want! During the next 6 months I will refer to it often because of the truth & direction it gives me. I enjoyed playing bingo, because it kept me awake. These are some of my favorite quotes that were uplifting to me.

♥ "Fear not & be of good cheer. Our future is as bright as our faith." Pres. Thomas S. Monson

♥ "The Lord will shape your back to fit the burden."
Neil Anderson about his wife. "For most of my life, I've been trying to become what she thought I already was!"

♥ "You are never lost when you can see the temple." Gary E. Stevenson's young son

♥ "As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us."
Gary E. Stevenson

♥ "You have the power to shoes [choose]." José A. Teixeira

♥ "God never gives you more than you can handle." ♥
I have thought a lot about this saying lately.
I believe it is true, but sometimes God

does give us more than we can handle.

When I realize that I am unable to handle things

in my life, that is when I turn to Him for help.

He wants us to turn to Him for help

& not to walk alone.

When we turn to the Lord with all our ♥s,

He will help us to carry our burden.

With God, all things are possible.

I need Him as my partner.

1 Nephi 3:7

"I will go & do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth

no commandments unto the children of men,

save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
