Good bye August!

I thought I should give an update on my resolutions!  Things have been crazy this summer, but I found that it really helps to have goals to look forward to and work on.  I am very pleased to say that I have not "given up" on any of my goals.  I am determined to see them through until January 1, 2011.  I have been working each day on my family history, and this has naturally led me to the temple.  We have gone in July and August.  I am so close to earning my personal progress medallion which makes me very excited!  I have started back up on organizing my home, summer is just not a good time to try this (I was lucky to keep up on the regular house work!!)  With the boys in school, I am finding time to focus on certain areas more.  Scrapbooking is going well, Tayla's book should be done before the end of September.  There's so much more to catch up on, but I love it, so it doesn't feel stressful.  Scripture reading is not where it should be.  I can't share the music with you, but here are some lyrics from one of my songs.  I am trying to write a song for each young women value, and this is the song for Faith:

I can almost hear His voice
on the pages I read
I hear His humble plea,
"come follow me"

So I kneel and ask Him how,
how can I know the way.
I hear the spirit say,
"Have faith in me"

And now I feel His light surround me,
because I know my prayers are heard.
And now I want to keep it burning,
I won't let the light go out.
I have planted a seed within.

I am nourishing the seed,
it is growing each day.
I feel each step I take
He's leading me.

I have shared the faith I feel
and it grows as I do
I know I am His child
A child of God.

Because I feel His light surround me
And I know my prayers are heard
And now I strive to keep it growing
I won't let the light go out.

I have planted
I have nourished
I am growing a seed within.

That's all for now!  Beth
