My Life… My Journey… My Lessons...

What a life I live, what a beautiful blessed life I live. Is it perfect? Absolutely NOT. But am I so abundantly blessed beyond my own belief and even comprehension? YES! Yes I am! And you know what I am so secretly grateful for? My trials, yes my trials. I look back and reflect, reflect on the times that I felt my Savior near, where I was humble, humble enough to drop to my knees and plea for comfort plea for him to be there by my side, and he was! He was there he is always there. But it take humility. Humility isn't a sign a weakness. Its knowing things are beyond what you, I am able to hold or handle. I've been praying, pleading lately to have humility… kind of strange right…. the times of trials is when I have felt a feeling of humility the most and I want that feeling to return. But humility is MORE…. more then crying our for help. Its knowing knowing there is a power greater whether it be a trial I don't think I can make it through or constantly falling short as a mother. Knowing that through our Father we can become a better version of ourselves.  Here is what LDS.org has to say about this  topic. How perfectly defined and laid out.

Humility

To be humble is to recognize gratefully our dependence on the Lord—to understand that we have constant need for His support. Humility is an acknowledgment that our talents and abilities are gifts from God. It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that we know where our true strength lies. We can be both humble and fearless. We can be both humble and courageous. 

Additional Information
Jesus Christ is our greatest example of humility. During His mortal ministry, He always acknowledged that His strength came because of His dependence on His Father. He said: “I can of mine own self do nothing. . . . I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me” (John 5:30).
 The Lord will strengthen us as we humble ourselves before Him. James taught: “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. . . . Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:6, 10). —See True to the Faith (2004), 86-87

I love this! I always thought of humility as a something we become during a big trial or a big learning moment, but no, that not the complete definition. We can be Fearless and Courageous, but still be humble. I pray I will acknowledge HIM in all I do. I pray to know His counsel and guidance. I pray to be HUMBLE enough to hear and act upon the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Really what it comes down to is Faith they truly go hand in hand. Without humility there is no faith and without faith you are hopeless no humble.  I have so many short comings but I know and have faith that through Him I will I will become that better version of me. Constantly steadily working on being stretched and moulded in what HE sees I can become. Something I'm not even capable of imagining.

Baby Giles #2 This little bundle of joy is scheduled to arrive Sept. 23, 2010. We are really excited for this little one to join our family. Although we've been wanting another baby for awhile, we were suprised that it finally happened. Our Heavenly Father has his own timing and it truly couldn't be better timing. Even though I have been sick it has really helped all of us have something exciting to keep our minds off of missing each other so much. Oaklee is soo excited to be a BIG SISTER! Ever since she saw an episode of Calliou she has been wanting soo bad to be a big brother. We had to convince her that she couldn't be a big brother but she could however be a big sister. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right the day after Tye left. I didn't know when I would be able to talk to him again so I went to the store and hesitantly bought a pregnancy test. (I didn't want to jinx anything.) After finally getting to talk to Tye I hurried and took the test...

Amanda and I were just going through some pictures, and we ran across this one. It was when Kyra and Camree were here from Florida. They were all suppose to be sleeping. I went up there to check on them, they had the lights on the room torn apart and Kyra had put lotion all over Oaklee's face. It was so funny! At first I was going to be the tough guy and follow through with my idle threts. Then I took one look at Oak and I couldn't be angry I had to laugh!

Well this last weekend it was in Layton and Kim and I decieded to ride together with Oaklee. Oak had been so excited to go, she was ready a week proir. She has also been on a huge baby kick she doesn't go anywhere with out her dolls. She doesn't even bath until she switches out for the water baby. Well anyways before we left the house she realized that she would be going swimming, so she kissed her baby good bye, only in exchange for her water baby that she left at grandmas, that we were going to go pick up. We get on the road and we are about to Pocatello and Oaklee pipes up and say, "mom where is my wata baby?" I said "oh we forgot it at grandmas."
