This video share a story of a young boy who found his mother in secret prayer asking Heavenly Father help her with her journey. They were Pioneers. She was one of the widows of Hyrum Smith. It left a great impression upon the young boy and he strived to have faith like his mother. I would like to do that for my children. Use the temple blessing to strengthen their faith as well as my own. Be grateful for what I have and move forward to accomplish our goals.

This was the New Years message but it still holds a message to those who are making life changes because we have be instructed By Heavenly Father through the Spirit to follow a different. A few people tell the story of Lot and his wife leaving Sodom and Guamora. The family was instructed to leave in a hurry and not to look behind them. Lot's wife stopped and looked behind her because she was not certain the new life the Lord had for them was better than the one they left behind. Her heart was just not in it so the Lord turned her into a pillar of salt.

For our family we have a long journey ahead of us and great goals and experiences to strive for. It has been hard to let go of what we have now and to push forward with what we need to do to accomplish the goals that we are seeking. We are afraid and for me some days it stalls me progress and I know it. I can see it. Just recently we found a property that is exactly what we are looking for to invest in. Well the house is a little big for my taste but the land is probably perfect. There is an orchard though it needs some TLC and tons of land to build the wind turbines on and have solar panels on. It is 243 acres!! We just do not have the income to pay for it.We can get there though but it will take longer than just right now. We will view it on Saturday but we will not be able to buy it for at least another 4 years. That is the plan anyway. We may not even get this specific land but one similar but we know what we are looking for. :)

We must look forward and be believing and do all that the Lord has asked and we will gain our objective and we will be able to help those of whom we want and that need it. Bless the Lord for all His mercy and love. We must not look back. :)
