October 24: waking up in Rivendell!
Peter is super overwhelmed right now and Afton, the girl he likes, doesn’t seem to like him anymore. He is pretty discouraged about the play, and he’s tired and kind of hard on himself. I want to be able to help the bloke, but I’m not sure how. I’m going to pray for him particularly about the play and help getting over Afton. I pray for each of the boys almost every single prayer. Poor guy. He’s only 15, but he’s so busy. I think Mr. Stuart is driving him crazy too.
William is also a bit discouraged tonight about math, and had a bit of a cold. I hope it’s not COVID. The term ends Friday, and he and James both need to make up a few quick assignments. He had guitar lessons though and had fun with Jon. They get along well.
And James is doing pretty great. Loving the saxophone. Loving music. Doing great in his classes. Wanting more time to practice his instruments and play Tetris with Ryan!
And we all have lots to do before Halloween. But more than anything I want to help the boys feel peace and joy and continue feeling the Spirit, and truly hope they can find joy reading the scriptures. We’re gonna try and set aside ten minutes a day to really dig in to the scriptures.
I feel like I need to listen more. To each of them. I talk a lot, but I need to listen.
Am feeling good about quitting. Hoping to interview this week at Venture. Still looking at the budget too. Figuring out how much I really need to make.
I know life in uncertain and people change a lot, but I’m thankful I can count on the Savior. Find peace in Him. Grateful He is willing to help carry my burden. Pray I can help my boys learn to do this. His burden is light.
