Our sweet Elizabeth is amazing. Her dad and I went to her 6th grade awards ceremony. She was given an award for High Honors, having a 3.7 or higher GPA. She was also given the Most Outstanding Math award, an award only given to one student in the 6th grade. I am so proud of her. It was a delight for her father and I to watch this beautiful young woman succeed and see the joy shining from her face. I am so impressed with her. She works hard to excel when even her friends don't. She stands up as an example of goodness and righteousness despite the difficulties of middle school life. What a blessing she is to our family.
"While
there are many things we do know about the priesthood, seeing through
the lens of mortality does not always give a complete understanding of
the workings of God. But His gentle reminder, “My thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” reassures us that with time
and eternal perspective we will see things “as they really are” and
more completely understand His perfect love."
I have to give a lesson in two weeks about the priesthood. So much of my scripture study over the last month has focused around that. Today as I read the words of Elder Anderson I was reminded of the Faith we must have in our Heavenly Father. That sometimes I question why he has my children go to a certain school, or why we have to move to a certain place, or why things don't come together the way I want. But as time continues I learn the answer to my questions and then I understand and am grateful for the way the Lord had things happen. We must have that kind of faith in the priesthood. We may not fully understand it but we must have faith in the Lord's way.
