I Need Thee Every Hour

I just finished reading this book...

It's awesome! If you like church books, this is a good one.

There were probably 5 or 6 different times while reading this book when a question would come up during a gospel discussion with a friend and I was able to say "Well, actually, I just read about that in this book." And I'd pull my book out of my purse and read them what I had found.

I learned so much about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how we need it every single second of the day. It's because of the Atonement that we can overcome the "natural man," which is an enemy to God (Mosiah 3:19, James 4:4, Genesis 8:21), and become more like our Savior. It was so awesome to really understand that I do need Him every hour. Not just when I'm struggling with something, but when I'm happy, too.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about the Atonement and strengthen their testimony of the Savior.

Next up: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Lauren

This is me!! (What do I say??) I love journaling and I keep trying to give blogging a shot, haha. I love reading and learning about basically any subject, especially anything spiritually related. I work for a credit union here in Ogden and am loving it so far. (Bank schedule… score!!) I serve on the Utah Kappa Delta Alumnae Chapter Council (whew, that's a mouth full) and I also started my own It Works business this last year. Usually my "free time" is spent building that business, watching my favorite tv shows with my husband, and hanging out with my family! I've set some new goals that I'll share on here and hopefully this blog will document my progress, along with the rest of my life.

Jarvis

Oh Jarv. I love this man of mine more than I can say. One of the first things I loved about Jarvis was just how similar we are. Our sense of humor is the same, our personalities are the same, and a lot of the time we're thinking the same thing. But marriage brings out everything and I'm learning that we are also very different. He's pretty country… he loves horses, cows and farms and spends his days teaching high school kids all about them. He's also the FFA Advisor. He is one of those blessed individuals that absolutely loves what he does for work. (Lucky!!) When he's not working, he's either working on his online classes, helping out as the Chairman of the ATO (fraternity) board, or hanging out at home with the fam.

Luke

Luke is still our favorite. He is growing so fast and learning so much, it's hard to keep up. He's such an even mix of Mom & Dad, sometimes serious, sometimes hilarious!! A people watcher, an extrovert, and of course the funniest person in the room. ;) He's smart, very polite, and is talking all the time. We now have to watch what we say because he copies our words all the time. The answer to any question he's asked is "yeah" or "umm" and he LOVES "nanas" (bananas.) We absolutely love this little kiddo and hope he continues growing into the handsome, polite, happy kid he is.
