Though None Go With Me

I would highly recommend this movie.  It is an uplifting and inspiring movie.  We all experience tough times in our life and can have hope of a loving God who never abandons us. It is the story of a woman who dedicates her life to God, unconditionally.  That means having faith when all around us doesn't make sense or is falling apart.  God is at the forefront.  I absolutely loved the quote from a song that was used as a theme in this movie,"Though none go with me, still I will follow...no turning back, no turning back."  

New Shoes!

Shoes are definitely a down fall for me, fortunately or maybe unfortunately I don't get to go shopping much.  However, I did get to go shopping in my sister's closet the other day and I got a new pair of shoes!  Aren't they great?  Too bad I don't have anything to where them with or even anywhere to go in them.  They do give me a good reason to shop! Now all I need is a hot guy to take me out when everything is final.  Patience I know but these babies want to get out. :)  

Motherhood

I love going to church and feeling the Spirit.  I especially love fast and testimony meeting.  My children are such an inspiration to me by wanting to share their testimonies.  They have such pure faith and a love for our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  I feel so honored to be their mother.  As a missionary  I bore my testimony at my last zone meeting and said that I was sad to be leaving the greatest calling I would have being a representative of the Lord, Jesus Christ and to which my mission president quickly corrected and said,"No, Sister Scott the greatest calling you will ever have is being a mother."  How right he was!  Being a mother is the most glorious calling.  It is by far the most challenging but the most rewarding.   With all of my heart I love my children and do not for one second wish that I was not their mother.  I am so grateful that I have been blessed with such wonderful and loving children.  It is the most sincere desire of my heart to raise them up unto the Lord for they are His.  I am only his steward and if I am faithful then they shall be mine.  My heart overflows with love for them.  I am so grateful and humbled that I have been given so much.  I am grateful for the gift of faith that sustains me and do hope to pass that gift along to my children who are my greatest treasure.   Being a mother has blessed me in so many ways.   I am grateful to have the gospel in my life and understand what a noble calling it is to be called a mother and for prophets who testify of that nobility.  I am reminded of a quote by President David O. McKay, "She who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the admiration and the plaudits of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, … deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God.”
