Faith received her church magazine, Friend, in the mail on Saturday and today she put it in her backpack for individual reading time at school. This is a church published magazine filled with lots of uplifting stories of children her age and slightly older going through tough choices just like her. I don't quite know what to say to her when it comes to religion. I can answer her questions but so many other families in church have a deeper understanding of the scriptures. I wish I had a greater desire to read the scriptures. It's not that I don't want to follow Jesus's example because I do. I just feel that at this point in time in my life, I'm not as close to Jesus as I could be. I continue to pray for guidance each day to be a good mother and make right choices however each night I realize that I have failed in several ways and here I am asking for more help. One day Faith will follow Jesus and so will Champ. One day they'll be baptized and they'll be an example to all their friends. Reading is a tough task to accomplish in our house. I am tring to look for fun ways for Faith to enjoy it. I feel like I have succeeded temporarily in this with a new magazine each month.
