Endurance

 I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am trying to have faith and remember that God knows what is best. The doctor told me last week that my baby is already 8 lbs. I only have 9 lbs of space in my pelvis, which means I have not much space left. Ryan gave me a priesthood blessing, and I am trying to exercise faith in God’s promises. I am grateful for a wonderful husband. I am grateful for the story of Peter sinking and Christ reaching out immediately. I know Christ knows us personally and loves us.

February

 We started a tradition of making Challah bread on Saturday for the Sabbath. There are a lot of things in Jewish culture that fit with Christianity, and we enjoy this tradition. The kids like to make their own Challahs, and then we eat them for lunch before we go to church at noon.

 Amy made her own birthday cake. It turned out beautifully. She’s such a great big sister to Jacob.

 Mom and Dad worked on her birthday present together (a dress we sewed without a pattern). We look forward to meeting our next boy in a short while.
