Week 10 Father's and Finances

I thought today's lesson in class was very inspiring. My wife and I have had many experiences in the short 7 months we've been married learning and knowing that Heavenly Father is very aware of our circumstances. He knows and loves us and wants us to be happy. We need to learn that We need Him in order to achieve our goals. I loved the discussion about how we choose to do certain things and how we as spouses make decisions. Kelcie and I had a very spiritual and sacred experience in knowing when to have children. One of the things that has really helped us was to know and understand what the living prophets have said about specific things like Marriage, Raising Children, When to have children, Birth Control, working mother's, Finance, etc... We used Eternal Marriage, one of the institute manuals to read a lot about this stuff. We did it on our own and came together and discussed it and sometimes read together and shared the Do's and Don'ts that are specifically mentioned. Once we came to our personal conclusion, we began to act, but did little to include the Lord he eventually humbled us. It was a very real thing. The Spirit bore powerful witness to us about when we should do certain things. It was an incredible experience but it has been a huge foundation builder and stepping stone to being more in tune with his will. It has safe guarded and protected our marriage. I am forever thankful to Him for this.
