Transforms Mundane into Majestic

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf in the Relief Society Conference said, “The “why” of obedience sanctifies our actions, transforming the mundane into the majestic. It magnifies our small acts of obedience into holy acts of consecration.”
I love the words “Mundane in the Majestic”! I believe when we know who we are and what we are to do. There is an energy that emulates and encompasses us. It transforms the mundane into the majestic. I have personally experienced this in my life and know that when I am filled with light and joy the mundane transforms into majestic and everything is Great!! May we all experience this transformation many times in our lives. 🙂

Transformation

I am a Visionary!  I have taken off the mask Healer!  Can you give me an Oh Yeah!! 🙂

Today, as I was sharing about myself while my buddy I learned that I love to have fun, to teach and to share.  My results were: Teach people how to have fun while going though tough times.  This lesson taught me that I really am a visionary person.  I have been hiding behind healer for many years nursing my family, my baby and even my husband.

I also talked a lot about birds and I believe it is mostly because I WANT TO FLY!  I feel tethered to Healer and I want to FLY – Have FUN.  I want to be able to transform people’s lives and hard times through adventure.  So from now on I’m transforming into my true visionary profile that is mine!  YAH!  oh, I feel free!  🙂

My Dinosaur Dream

Thom and I were at a party in my parents house with many of our friends who were starting businesses.  A very large storm came up as everyone was leaving.  I went to help someone and I took Tirzaan with me and we started sliding all over the road.  I finally stopped secured Tirzaan, we and pulled out another car full of people and then returned to the van to find that Tirzaan was not in the van he had gotten out and was content on the snow next to the van, but it sure gave me a panic.
Somehow I was then on the next road  helping Italia back to the house.  There was this very horrible man who collected scary animals from all over the world that lived between where we were headed.  We went on way and the animals spooked us, so we went around the other way and found that one of the angry bores had gotten loose and was headed toward us.  I turned Italia around a went back up to the very large barn where we jumped in missing the attack.  Inside I could tell we were going to have a difficult time getting to the other side.  We eased our way across strange objects and smell and down a very large incline.  The owner came in from somewhere and I told Italia to keep going, that I would talk with him.  I came over to meet him and told him we were sorry for trespassing, but we just wanted to get home.  He asked about my daughter and looked upset.  I got the feeling something terrible was happening, he stopped me and said there is nothing you can do for her now she is gone.  “Do you mean my daughter is dead, how?”  “The raptasaurous.”  What?  I ran down and all I could see was very large wings hovering over something.  Then he got up and flew toward me I ran to the back door and saw that there was no way I could escape.  So I braced myself and ducked down.  Then I thought, he is not taking me without a fight and I stood back up as he opened his large mouth and I blocked him putting my whole arm into him mouth.  I immediately thought he would chop my arm off but immediately disappeared.
The next scene was in a forest with my husband and many many friends, those who had begun businesses and were very successful.  One had just taken over a business of another friend and was explaining to me her excitement.  I then walked to others just happy as ever.  Thom and I walked under a wooden canopy and when I was in the middle the roof disappeared and money, lots of money fell all around us.  Everyone cheered.  I had made it, I had reached my goal!

My interpretation:  There will be many storms ahead, but I’ll still be able to help many.  I will have to face many evil situations and overcome my greatest fear.  But I will triumph and win the prize. 🙂 (not sure what happens to my children and how they are connected in this)

Getting into a New Home

Thom and I lived in a 2 bedroom basement apartment with our eight children. We rented from my mother in law who lived upstairs. We have lived there for almost eight years struggling to make ends meet. During those eight years we had our last three children and spend most of two years in and out of the hospital with our 5th son who was born without a bile duct causing many other complications and had to have a liver transplant.
At the end of April 2011 she came down with an infection in her back that she received from a fall in March. She went down fast. I was attending to her on almost an hourly basis. On May 2 she had a stoke and was taken to the hospital. On May 6 she died of complications from infection and back surgery. Since then we have been on an incredible journey I would have not expected. We knew we could no longer stay in her home and started looking for places to live. On the day of the funeral Vicci, my sister-in-law and friend was offered a full-time job in Cedar City and needed to move. They needed someone to rent their home so Thom and I moved into their home. We ended up getting new carpet and linoleum and a painted the whole house for our deposit. All of these were gifts given to us by friends and people in the community.  Thom had just had a real estate sale and we were able to pay the first month’s rent.

We spent the whole month of May and most of June moving mom’s things out, moving Steven and Vicci to Cedar City and painting and moving ourselves.  What an ordeal!!  We inherited many furniture items from mom and received others from friends and neighbors so we were able to fill our home and we each have places to sit.

Moving to this new home has brought us many joys.  One of the first days I was here painting I got to watch the sun rise and the rays fall through the house.  I was so overcome that I fell to my knees in gratitude for windows.  I can see light of the sun everyday now and not have to depend on the clock to tell me the time of day.  In fact this has changed the dynamics of our home.  We use to eat dinner very close to six every night, but it has been a month now and we are still struggling with the time, it will be eight o’clock and I will think it is not even five. 🙂  We also have room for the children to run and play in but most of all we have places to sit other than our beds or kitchen table chairs (we had a love-seat and chair, but they always seemed to be used).  We feel extremely blessed.
