Day 11

So today I had to finally admit that my little baby is no longer a little baby. (Sad face) She is a toddler. She no longer fits into her 12 month sizes no matter how much I think that she does. I officially had to bring out her 18 month clothes. Sigh. But it's good. Also, my daughter is a girl after my own heart. She loves shoes!!! I love shoes too. I had been storing some shoes with her clothes, and she wanted to try all of them on. It was so adorable. After we came home from running errands, I took her shoes off. She didn't like that very much and quickly put them back on her feet as best she could, which didn't exactly work. So I helped her. Then She decided to walk around the entire apartment with her shoes on. It was so funny. Luckily, she went to bed early tonight so I got to have a mini date with my husband. It was nice. Oh and yes, I was true to myself and did get some cleaning done.

Truth be told, today was not all hunky dory. I was feeling really down earlier this morning. So I decided to listen to a program that talked about gospel solutions to everyday family problems. Here's a link it had some really great insights: http://www.mormonchannel.org/gospel-solutions-for-families Anyways, while I was listening to the program, I just felt better. I felt hopeful. I've been thinking a lot lately about hope and how in today's world it is so easy to just go without. Now for me, I get really depressed whenever I go without hope. In fact depression is something that I've had to fight my entire life (which is one of the reasons why I'm writing this blog. It's been really helping me fight my depression). But whenever I start feeling like there is no hope, a certain scripture found in Either 12:4 comes to mind. It states, "Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." By just believing in God We can hope for a better world!! That in of itself gives me hope. And that is what makes me positive! Till tomorrow! Love you all!
