smartypants

So I confessed to James the other night that I feel bad that my Book of Mormon understanding is pretty elementary... I know the stories but when it comes down to reading it and transforming the words into something that will turn the lightbulb on in my head, that lightbulb is a no-show.
But that is exactly where having a smarty husband comes in handy! He read with me today and was there to answer my questions when I needed him. Surprising enough I didn't need to ask him much!! I actually found myself getting caught up in the words and turning the lightbulb on! It was empowering!
We read Jacob Chapters 1 and 2. The best thing I took from it is that the Lord knows and feels our pain and concerns. He does not want to see us hurt in any way. He really is a protective, loving older brother.
I love that.

I like to play a game at the end of the day called high/low. You just have to say the high of your day and the low.
High: Picnic and walk in the park with James and Mei and scripture reading
Low: I saw a spider in the bath tub and had no choice but to kill it in the defense of my family! R.I.P. Spide.
