There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

I love Nie Nie

I've never met Stephanie Nielson, but I love her. I love her spirit and her spunk. I love her creativity and her willingness to share her life with us. What a wonderful woman she is.

Check out this great video about her new life. The life she has made since the plane crash that almost claimed her life in August 2008.

How much proof do you need?

For starters, I'm not really a fan of country music. There are a few artists that I enjoy listening to, but let's just say that my radio station settings don't usually include the country channels...

However, a friend posted this music video link on Facebook and I really, truly enjoyed it.

It's by Lee Ann Womack and is titled "There is a God."

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

For the record, I believe in God and I'm grateful for everything He has given me.

To blog or not to blog in 2010?

I'm not sure anyone is reading this blog anymore, but I have made a resolution to keep it AND to update it more frequently (my resolution: at least once a week -- wish me luck!)
Why?

Because I'm inspired by something President Eyring said about journaling:


"I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: 'Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?' As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done."

I have definitely seen what God can do in my life and I want to remember it always. Writing things down -- on a blog, in a notebook or on a scrap piece of paper -- not only helps me to remember, but will be something I can leave for my family.

Thanks, MW, for posting such a great quote on your blog. It has inspired me to keep up this work. :)
