Holy cow!

This month has been a blur! I don't know where it has gone. I spent the first part of this week in Salt Lake for work. With Barb being gone and then me being gone and everything else that has been going on I have not been able to slow down. Work has been a lot busier the last little while, that is a good thing! I still cannot believe that it is the middle of November already. I am not making much sense, but wanted to explain that I have not been writing because it has been busy! Monday before I left for SLC Barb and I had a discussion. The details are not so important, the conclusion is. We made a covenant between us and God that we would bear with patience our trial and do so without murmuring about it. Most of our trials at this time are related to our living in southern Utah near family. There is a lot of stress, especially with my family. There has always been tension in my family, now it is worse than ever. Barb and I once again have accepted that the Lord wants us here, for whatever reason, and that we are going to be here until that reason no longer exists. So, we are going to submit to His will, and we are not going to complain about it, keeping a hope in our hearts that someday, like Alma's people, we will be delivered. We both believe the deliverance will come in the form of a move away from this area. Don't get me wrong, it is a wonderful area to live, we have so many blessings here. Barbie has an adventurous spirit, and we feel that at some point if we are trying to do the Lord's will, that He will have need for us somewhere else. Living in Cache Valley was a wonderful experience for us, we loved it there. That isn't to say that there were not trials, there were, but we felt that we were supposed to be there and that made them easier to bear. We feel that we were supposed to move back here, and we feel that like it or not, we are supposed to still be here for now. That is enough, if the Lord wants us here we can be happy here. Well, I am rambling on and making no sense. I guess that is all for now.
