When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!
Man the past few weeks have been absolutely nuts! First, Lily and I drove to California and were away from Todd for almost a whole week! (The longest we have ever spent apart from one another). The day that we were driving home, Todd's mom had surgery for the second time in a month. She has breast cancer and she had surgery a week before we went on our trip but they found more that worried them in the lymph nodes, so she got to go through all of that again! It's so sad that she had to have TWO surgeries. Well the first time Todd's sister drove out here for a week to help her with everything, which was so awesome of her! This time no one could make it to come help her, so I definitely volunteered for the job! The day after I got back Lily and I came over and proceeded to get her food, make sure she took her meds, made her comfortable and kept her company. So this week I have basically lived at Todd's mom's house. It's been fine, but I just realized how much I miss being home! I miss having a schedule of my usual stuff I do. So it's been a little hard bouncing from one place to the next. Now tonight our ward is having a soup social and hopefully by tomorrow I can stay at home just a little bit longer than I have this week! Todd's mom is doing much better than she was earlier this week and I hope recovery keeps going the way it has been. We're just praying that she doesn't have to go through anything so traumatic again!
