Progress and protection

March 21, 2020

I am learning some good things about SEO.  That stands for Search Engine Optimization for all those who speak my language.  I made some changes to the landing page of my website and I made some changes to the affiliate links.  And the results of this are, wait for it..... I earned some income!  Wahoo!  I'm rich!  $.58.  Well, I know it is less than a dollar, but it is definitely progress.  There are some things I would like to change but have forgotten how I put them there and can't find the way to change them.  (That makes me feel a little foolish.) So, now is the time to reach out to the program support and figure things out.  

Every little bit of learning helps.  

There are so many things changing this week.  As well as the Corona virus, there was an earthquake in my state.  Although I felt it, my area did not receive any damage.  My husband was traveling, but far enough away that his truck was shaken, but he was safe.  Some of my children and their families live closer to the center of the earthquake.  They also were shaken more, but are safe.  Some of my children are off work due to the virus.  Some of them are making some big decisions for their future life right now.  For a moment, I was overwhelmed with fear for the future of my children and grandchildren.  As I mentioned, my husband was not in town so he was unable to give me a priesthood blessing to help me deal with the anxiety I was experiencing.  He suggested I have my ministering brother give me a blessing.  Fortunately, I work for this brother so right at work I was able to take a break and have a priesthood blessing.  I can not express to you the peace and comfort that blessing gave me. 

In this exciting day of learning, trials, challenges, and growth we are blessed and watched over by a loving Father.  He allowed us the opportunity of trials.  That is huge to contemplate.  And, it helps me recognize that trials and challenges for my children are just part of their lives; learning to walk involves building muscles and falling.  Just like me, my children have the option to learn, grow, and progress through their trials.  I don’t need to worry about them, just love them and pray for them.

Thank you Heavenly Father for this life experience.
