Happy New Year 2011

On my way home from going to Atlanta, GA for a Single Adult Dance with mom, I was listening to a Book on Tape, If Life Were Easy It Wouldn't Be Hard, by Sherri Dew. She quoted the below scripture and I liked. Thought to record in blog.

Doctrine & Covenants 123:17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

To me it means let us do our part and then turn it over to God. I find me trying to do just this daily. Some days are better than others. Plus the fact that knowing that if I stress too much about items that my nerves will start to make my skin itch. Don't like that at all. :D)

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION don't mean too much to me because I set goals throughout the year. However, I am going to make a resolution to post more regularly to this blog. This is my family history, so its important to keep these records.
