Derek/Revelation for Women


I cannot say it enough!  I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!  He is truly amazing.  Last night he came home cheerful and upbeat.  And no matter what hit him he regrouped and continued to be positive and happy.  I went into full depression and we had several moody people but he kept his calm and worked with us.  Never criticizing only loving and helping.  He is so good.  I am so thankful for Him.  I am so grateful to a kind and loving Heavenly Father who gave this man to me.  Life is so much better because of Him.

 
I love these two pictures.  Michael wanted the kite and Derek could see that I was going to take a picture so he knelt down just for me and was helping Michael.  Right after I snapped this picture Michael let go of the kite and it went flying off.  All we could do was laugh.
 
Book of Mormon, Alma 32:23
"he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also."
I find this comforting. Women are not mentioned often in scripture. It is assumed that the audience is men and women. But here Alma distinctly mentions women. I fear that some women don't understand that they can receive revelation, that they can receive answers to prayers. This shows a very loving Heavenly Father giving His daughters no doubt that He is mindful of them and wants them to reach out to Him and promising they will receive answers.

I know that my Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers.  I have received revelation on numerous occasions.  I am constantly in communication with my Father in Heaven.  He is my best friend and does not criticize me only helps me a long.  I am so grateful for His love and His support.  I could not do this life without Him in it.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P...

First day of school August 2014

First day of school!!  Eveyone was so excited.  Especially little Maddie.  Since March she has been asking me when she would get to go to kindergarten.  She was tired of preschool and wanted to be a big girl.  We told her she would have to wait until after swim team.  For about the last month she has asked everday when swim team would be over.  Finally we had our last swim even, the weekend, and school. For Kindergarten the first week back the kids only come one day so that the teachers can evaluate them and put the classes together.  Maddie's day was Monday which worked out perfect so that everyone could start on the same day. As Maddie got ready she and Samantha were suck like glue.  Samantha being the doting big sister and helping her out with lunch, backpack, and clothes.  We all walked into school and everyone was eager to help drop Maddie off.  When we got to the room the teacher looked at her and said, "Maddie! are you su...
