The morning went pretty well. The kids were so excited when I told them I would be taking them to school, and the three youngest were thrilled to learn that they would be going to friends houses to play this morning while Mom came home to rest.
One of the things that we believe and hold strong to as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the doctrine of personal revelation. We believe that God speaks to ALL of his children through the voice of the spirit - first at the Light of Christ, which is given to EVERY person born on the earth, - and then through the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is recieved after baptism. That voice can be heard in many ways, often as a simple thought, or some kind of feeling. Warm, peaceful feelings tell us that what we are doing, or thinking of doing, is in line with our Heavenly Fathers approval. Dark, confused, unhappy feelings are the spirits way of tellling us that something is wrong. Like a parent who has sent a child off to college, our Father in Heaven wants to be able to communicate with us and help us during our time on this earth. He hasn't sent us here to walk alone in confusion!
I am so grateful for the countless friends who have felt, and listened to that spirit and then blessed my life. I look at every phone call, note in the mail, email, blog comment, or act of service as a gift from our Father in Heaven, because I know that he is blessing me, through you! Thank YOU!
LOL! Last night Prince Charming and I caught the "sneek peek" of this new show:
After the first 15 minutes, we both looked at each other and commented that a nice little pit had settled into our stomaches. Part of me wanted to turn off the TV and go to bed - I think it was the prideful part of me. The rest of me knew that what this young Dad is doing is a miracle that our country needs.
It was amazing to watch the lunch ladies - er, cooks - lash out at Jamie. Actually, all of the adults, even though they had agreed to have him come, acted put out, offended and pessimistic.
It's easy to see where they are coming from.
I think that the general mentality in America is that cooking healthy is 'too hard'.
The USDA has complicated everything for everyone.
Jamie is determined to undo the damage that's been taking place for decades.
So Prince Charming and I have decided to hop on board.
We've signed his petition.
We will be watching each week WITH our kids.

I've been excited for this show for a while! We've know about it for a long time- Joel's school is in the 'community' they are trying to change ;o)
It's nice that people are stepping up to say that enough is enough. I'm glad that you are feeling better, you are always in our prayers!
Nicole-so glad that you are feeling better. What was it that you had exacatly done?e
I know all about surgeries and the worst part is the recovery and the feeling of just wanting to mom again-normal!
Hang in there.
Bonnie - Thanks sweet cousin! What school is Joel in again? I can't wait to talk to you to hear about what you've seen out there:) Hope YOU are feeling better with your new meds too hon. Give Lydia a kiss for me!
Tausha - Thanks roomie (haha!) I had a Full, Abdominal, Hysterectomy. So, they took all of my gilry parts out, well, except one....;) So now....I have Menopause! It sounds soooo old. And, yes - I am sitting here at 2 am because my hot-flashes are keeping me awake:)
What surgeries have you had? Do you have a Primary Care Doctor up here that you love? I'm in the market for one that doesn't keep saying "um...er...I don't know".
He's at Marshall University, he passes that "Welcome to Huntington" sign everyday on his way to the hospital. He actually does his rotations at that hospital that they family went to for their checkup. They also have his kitchen place all set up for free cooking lessons. I hadn't realized that it was his kitchen, the only marketing that they have is a white sign saying free classes on it. I think I am going to go check it out. I'm glad that you are feeling better and getting into the swing of things :o) xoxo
by his kitchen I meant Jamie's not Joel's, of course :O)
