“He lives to calm my troubled heart.”

I’m leaning on this quote a lot lately. If you saw my stories recently, you’ll know we’re moving.

It hasn’t been an easy journey for us. In fact, if has been one of the most stressful things I’ve ever been through.

Being beat out on offers, moving deadlines we’re trying to meet, packing woes, asbestos (that’s a fun one, right there, let me tell you), not to mention the housing market in general right now.

My heart has definitely been “troubled” time again through this process.

But it has also been “calmed” by powers outside of myself. I’m so grateful that I have a knowledge of a Savior who does live to calm my troubled heart.

Hey friends. Thought I’d show my face on the fee

Hey friends. Thought I’d show my face on the feed today. 👋🏻

A little about me:

I love being outside (except during July, august, and September. It’s too blazing hot).

I especially love going on walks or hikes with my family - especially when there is a copious amount of daisies for chain making.🌼

Potatoes in any form are a sure fire way to my soul. But particularly French fries. 🍟

I’ve been homeschooling my kids since before the pandemic and I ask myself why I chose this every day. But when I think about the alternatives and can’t give myself enough reasons to switch. 📚

Big Harry Potter, Marvel, and Pirates fan. Not overly obsessed with any of them, but big fan. I would wear shirts if I ever bought myself things. ⚡️💥🌊

But I don’t do that because Copper will bite a hole in my new shirt, or Malory will rub jelly on it. Or Paislee will accidentally run into me with a Sharpy. You get the idea. #momlife

Well that’s me for now! If you wanna little more in-depth look at why I do what I do here for Gardner Lane, check out my latest blog post in my bio or go to GardnerLane.com 🌱

Gila Valley, Arizona.

I'm sharing this one again because I changed up the background.

I originally tried with it with a gouache background, but it just wasn't doing it for me, I really love the watercolor splotches. Like a lot.

Recognize this symbol? This is the little symbol

Recognize this symbol?

This is the little symbol that pops up on a person in @familysearch when they have all the information you need to take that name to the temple!

It's kind of exciting when I see this on my family tree!

But you might recognize some other symbols:

Green temple with a clock? It means the name has been turned into the temple and you can request to have that name.

Yellow Temple? It's missing some information, once found, the name will be ready. Some are simple, like the date or place isn't in the proper format.

Blue face card? There are records for that individual you can research and attach to them.

If you're just getting started with family history, this is a great place to start! Open your Family Search account, go to your tree and start looking for these.

Good luck and God speed!

Choose Kindness. 🌸

Ok, so it's cliche, but I only say it because I feel like people need to hear it.

There is a lot of UNkindness going around and it breaks my heart.

We weren't put here on this earth to tear each other down, divide ourselves, pick and prod and each other. We're here to help each other out!

We literally can't make it alone.

So the next time you feel like pointing a finger picking a fight, maybe just think about kindness for a second. Lend a hand, a listening ear, give a smile or pat on the back.

Try words like, "how can I help?"

I promise you won't be sorry you tried.

Each day, we are faced with a multitude of options

Each day, we are faced with a multitude of options.

These choices we make, little by little, shape us into the person we are becoming!

Do you decide to hit the snooze button every morning or get out of bed?

Do you decide to grab a pop-tart on the way out the door, or take the time to make a healthy breakfast and sit down with your family and enjoy it?

Do you decide to skip your morning prayers because your a little rushed or kids are constantly climbing on you, or do you take just a minute to kneel down despite the chaos?

These are just the choices we make before 9am! Think of the results of just these few simple choices. Once or twice, the easier (and less effective) choice isn't going to hurt.

But if you continue to sleep in, eat the junk, skip the prayer, etc., you will see the gap between who you are and who you want to be grow bigger and bigger.

Make the choice today that will help you become who you want to be tomorrow.
