I spent most of last night worrying about Jude and his situation at school...his teacher seems to be old school and very unexcited by the fact that he does not speak Arabic. Uggh. I have felt a tossing and turning and a churning in pit of my stomach ever since I talked to her yesterday. I woke up sort of half way this morning and was still somewhat dreaming...I heard in my mind and saw written in the same font as it is in the scriptures the word Nephi, followed by a number that I can't remember or couldn't see...it faded out towards the end of the reference...I remember hearing someone say something about Nephi will help,..kind of like they were narrating my dream...anyway so when I first woke up I thought it was about Nephi our nephew...but then I realized I should go to the scriptures which I did...Since I've been trying to make it so we have family scripture study and failing for days, I thought maybe it was just my subconscious reminding me to wake up in time to read them today.. we did have a successful scripture study this morning and it made all the difference in our morning, so..I dismissed it...it has been hours since then and I have been worrying about Jude again....the primary song that says...I will go I will do the things the lord commands just came to my mind....It is based on a scripture in Nephi...3:7 it reads....... And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. I know this is an answer to my prayer....I know that we are supposed to be here and that Heavenly Father will help us to be able to accomplish this hard task...that he will provide a way for Jude to be safe and comfortable...that things will work out and that our children will learn the language and that Heavenly Father is preparing the way for them to help him in teaching and loving and living with the saints here in this land....that does not mean that we are not responsible and that we can just lay back and do nothing. We need to use our agency and make choices and do things to help our kids be in the right places at the right times doing the right things. However, I am comforted and find hope in the promise that he will prepare a way for us to accomplish the tasks he has commanded us to undertake, and that things will be ok. I am grateful to have had this cool experience today and wanted to share it with you. Love, Emily |

Thanks Emily! It's true, the Lord DOES always provide a way. The fact that we are all still going is evidence of that. Things may get hard, but you have risen to every challenge. You are still trying and as long as you are trying, you can know that the Lord has provided a way for you. Don't know how to articulate what I mean. LOL. You can accomplish anything righteous that you desire.
