Random thing I found in the Scriptures.


 

Lately I feel like I've been more anxious and that I worry to much about my kids.  We had some drama with Scott's kindergarten class and ended up switching him classes and I felt like my head was going to explode because I was so worried about what would be best for him.  (He's doing great and so far so good.) 

Anyways- I was reading in the Book of Mormon this morning at the temple and came across this scripture.  This is Jacob 4:8  "Behold, my beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto you; if I do not, by any means, get shaken from my firmness in the Spirit, and stumble because of my over anxiety for you." 
OK I just love that he's worried about the anxiety he feels about future generations (about me no less! :) !   I just wanted to holla- "Brotha Jacob- I feel yo pain!!!"  (Well not really because he's a prophet I think and on a different spiritual plane but still- he's got anxiety too!)   And I probably don't but it almost seems like I can almost feel some personality in that sentence.  Anyways- that's my gem for the day...  I love when you find scriptures that make you feel better about weird things like that...

I don't think that you're the only one that ever feels this way. I'm glad you were able to feel some peace about it all. I'm glad that he's enjoying his new class! Mrs. K is awesome! I think it's great when a mom looks out for her kids! If you don't... who will?
