FHE - Fasting

We had a wonderful fhe. My oldest has been having a hard time with the fasting concept. Yesterday (fast Sunday) it seemed to be exceptionally difficult (and it doesn't help that her father doesn't fast for health reasons.) So I decided that this whole month fhe would be devoted to learning about fasting. Now I have been fasting and learning about fasting for a very long time, as we all have, but tonight it really brought home the real point of fasting. This is something that I love about the gospel. We all know the basics and understand them. I've listened to countless lessons, testimonies, and read scripture about fasting, and yet tonight the learning just continues. It was great! I even saw my oldest start to understand (at least for our short lesson.) Next we will continue and work on trying to retain her understanding. It just felt really good. The downside is that her dad was too sick and slept through it. But in the spirit of family togetherness, we had fhe on the bed where he was sleeping :) Last we talked about Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah; how their parents fasted and prayed for them. They love the stories in the BOM.

We haven't heard anything about our house, but I am still fasting and praying about it. I am ready to be in a home. DH is kinda picky and him and our realtor are getting frustrated with one another. The problem is that our realtor is a family friend, so we (dh) decided that we should take a break...UGH! On the upside, maybe since we aren't actively searching, the house that I really want will finally come through!?! We'll see.....the saga continues......

We are not coming down to SC anytime soon. This month I am in charge of giving sharing time and I hate to ask someone to cover for me if I really don't need them to. The kids don't have any time off in March and our oldest will be getting her tonsils and adnoids out over spring break in april. I'll let y'all know if things change.

Well I love ya and hope that you all have a great night (or day depending on if and when you read this.) I'm about to get on the phone to see if any of you check this anymore, or if it is just me rambling on into the neverending void of the internet. Rambling over...for tonight! :)
