Our first day in Disney started in Hollywood Studios. We began on Rocking Roller coaster and then immediately went to Tower of Terror. Maddie and Michael waited patiently for all of us to ride those rides and were quite delighted by the reward of Disney Jr. Live! Everyone did great on Rocking Roller coaster but Samantha did not like the Tower of Terror and when I went on with Elizabeth I was terrified. I kept grabbing her leg as we would go up and down. I was really wondering why I even got on this ride. I was grateful when it was over. Elizabeth loved it, it was by far her favorite ride.
Because my feet are not yet back to normal I ended up being in a wheel chair for the trip. It defiantly had it's advantages. One was that we got to sit right up front for many of the shows. Here Maddie and Samantha wait for Beauty and the Beast to begin. That was stunningly beautiful and fun.
Michael wanted nothing more than to run. He was constantly in a stroller or on my lap. Disney was smart and put some play spaces in their parks. Here Michael and JD are at Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Everyone else went to see the Muppets in 3D. John Derek also wanted to move and stayed with Michael and I. He is such a good brother and would take Michael all over the play space. I was so grateful that he was there, I never could have kept up with him by myself. This slid was by far their favorite.
Another favorite was the Stunt Show. We saw cars jump, split in half, catch on fire, drive backwards, it was truly enjoyable.
We had planned to leave early every day. But we moved a lot slower than we had anticipated. We couldn't believe how many times we ended up in the bathroom. This meant that we could not follow our plan but I was okay with that. We finally had the decision to either go home and rest or go to the Frozen Sing Along. The family debated back and forth. I finally prayed about it and felt good about going to the Sing Along. I am so glad I did. The kids loved it!! We were on the front row. The girls were belting out the songs. Maddie's eyes were huge. It was so fun to see my kids so happy. I truly felt the joy of seeing Disney through their eyes. I loved it!!
It Works Wonderfully!

With Michael not being able to go on
many of the rides we would often take turns riding. Here are photos of us
waiting for the others to go on Star Tours.

"“Does my life have
meaning?”"
I do feel that right now in my life
I am on a journey of self discovery. That Heavenly Father is trying to help me
see my worth, my talents, my importance, my divine qualities.
This question "Does my life have meaning?" is something that Satan is trying to skew. Over and over again I have the words "This is not the life I wanted" go through my head. I am tempted by memories of being single and only worrying about myself. I am not happy with the way my children are turning out in some areas that really are not important. I am grateful that I can identify that these feelings are not from our Heavenly Father and that I must work at disbelieving them and instead see my own self worth and try to look at my life through my Father in Heaven's eyes.
So when I read the question, "Does my life have meaning?" There is a part of me that does wonder. Why am I here, what is my purpose, what truly brings me happiness?
I have faith that I am on the right path. That Heavenly Father is guiding me to where I can receive those answers and feel them for myself. I have hope that it will all work out.
The thing that brings me the greatest happiness right now is the knowledge I have that my Husband loves me. When things are hard and I don't understand, when I am frustrated at upset at the trials I have to go through, I am reminded that I have the blessing of a wonderful marriage. That I am with my best friend every day even if it is just sleeping in the same bed at night, we are together. He is home everyday, he is only a phone call away, he loves me better than I ever expected to be loved. He is my greatest blessing. And I will take any trial that I must as long as He will remain faithfully by my side. I know that with the Lord's help we will get through this together and be together for eternity. This brings me joy!!
