The post that is 18 months in the making.

I'm starting this on 9/17/17.  I've decided to do a cheezy cheezy thing, and when  I sign my e-mails to Stephanie while she's on her mission, to put some kind of church related saying.  So, here goes, starting with tonight's:

9/17/17I love you Hermana Woerner, go and do the things the Lord commands!
1 Nephi 3:7

9/20/17-Found out that Wednesdays are her; p-day at the MTC.  (That's preparation day at the  Missionary Training Center.)  So, while she's there she'll e-mail on Wednesdays.  She also told me today that she can read her e-mails all week, but can only answer on p-day.  So, I guess I'm going to start signing my e-mails with the same signature all week.  I had one picked out ,but it slipped my mind.  It was so good too!  But, I guess it just wasn't in the cards.  I'll think of something.  It's been nice to be able to "talk" to her today.  I e-mailed her back, and she actually sent another e-mail back to me!  The things that warm this missionary mom's heart! 

9/24/17Abide in the Lord Hermana Woerner, Love you!
John 15:7 

10/02/17--Grace be with you Hermana Woerner!
Hebrews 13:25

10/08/17- Walk with God Hermana Woerner!!
Doctrine and Covenants 107:49

10/17/17-I know I had said I was going to sign all my e-mails all week with my cheesy saying, however; I have not been.  I guess I'm just being super lazy mom when it comes to e-mailing her, and putting my weekly signatures on. LOL  I wonder if she's noticed yet.
I also found out, that when she gets to Houston, they take away their tables for 8 weeks. :O Oh my goodness!
So, here's this weeks signature. (I'm running a little late this week with the big e-mail for her.)
-Be meek Hermana Woerner.
Mathew 5:5

10/20/17-Stephanie's roommate has asked me to write to her.  I was having some issues last night, and needed some extra prayers, so I asked both of them to pray for me.  I feel much better this morning, so I thanked them.  I signed the e-mail Be bold as lions my dear hermanas!  It's from Proverbs 28:1
When I send Stephanie her big e-mail I'm going to sign it this week from the same chapter in Proverbs, and It's going to be: Walk uprightly and and be bold as a lion!  So, that's a combination of verse 1 and verse 18.

10/23/17-sent Stephanie her big e-mail tonight, and I signed it just how I said I would. Walk uprightly and and be bold as a lion! 

10/30/2017- This is the first Monday p-day.  I totally spaced that it wasn't going to be on Wednesday this week. LOL, Last night I got all excited that today I may hear from her!  So, I e-mailed her this morning, here's the signature this week.

Walk by Faith Hermana Woerner, I love you.
2 Corinthians 5:7

I feel like at this point I should point out that all my biblical references are from the King James Version of the Bible.  You may find that the references fit into/from other versions, but the  KJV is the only version of the Bible that our family uses both in Church, and at my children's school.

11/5/17- Be a city on a hill Hermana Woerner, and shine your light.
Mathew 5:14

11/13/17-God will lead you by his hand, so let him take you where he needs you Hermana Woerner.
Abraham 1:18
I'm late this week writing her e-mail.  I had to work 4 days in a row, and I totally missed out on my ritual sitting on the couch writing to her about the musings of the week.   I miss her more today than I've missed her the whole time-and that's saying something, because I miss her terribly.  I hope she knows how proud I am of her, and that I love her dearly with all my being.

11/20/17-I've had a tooth pulled this week, so I'm not feeling the best, and I almost had decided to not send anything, but then I remembered something that Hermana Hudrlik had told me.  She told me that she loves getting my inpirational e-mails... so today's inspirational quote is late, but here it is.

Don’t forget to give thanks to the Lord!  It is the week of thanksgiving, without his mercy what are we?  Thank you to you both for your sacrifice in the work of the Lord.
1 Chronicales 16:34

11/27/17- Love you, and Remember, if you lack wisdom, Ask God!!!  (I am!)
James 1:5
This week while e-mailing her, one of my charge nurses texted me and asked me to pick up her shift tonight, because her grandma passed away last night.  Totally need to take this advice and ask what to do, because I'm torn!  Do I go? Do I not go.... :( 


12/10/2017-I didn't feel well last week, so I didn't/wasn't able to add on my quote.  This week, I was looking for a Christmas quote, but I instead I found this: Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I'm going to say that the greatest Christmas gift we are given is eternal life from our Heavenly Father, which was made possible by Jesus Christ, so go share, and tell people of his amazing gift.

1/5/18- This isn't really from a biblical source that's specific, just motherly advice:
 I love you dearly, and miss you fiercely.
Serve the Lord well, and know our Heavenly Father loves you.

1/7/18- This past week President Monson passed away.  So, this week I decided to send quotes from the prophet that I felt would help them.  I did send a combination e-mail because I don't feel good. (Stupid cold) so when I went to see what quote I wanted to send, I actually got prompted to send 2 different quotes.  Here is what I wrote:
“Remember that when you help another up a mountain, you are a little closer to the top yourself.” -Thomas S. Monson 
This one is also a good one-I mean he has SO MANY that are SO GOOD, but this one jumped out at me when I was praying about what words of encouragement to send you guys this week. 
“Rather than continually dwelling on what still needs to be done, pause occasionally and reflect on all that you do and have done.” –Thomas S. Monson.

1/14/18: This week I feel I need to remember that there is a season for everything.  (Not a Season Dow, but just a season)-This was in Stephanie's e-mail; not Hermana Hudrlik's.  God knows what we need in our lives, and he knows what season we are in our lives.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

2/12/2018- I'm having the hardest time keeping up with this. I feel like a horrible mother who can't seem to keep her head straight.  So, here are the past ones that I've done, but didn't come here and update, because apparently I don't know how to manage time.
This one is in my phone from the New Years Day.  Not sure what day it was sent, but probably the first, since it was a Monday: Remember Irene.  help cometh from the Lord, so look to Him in times of need.  Psalms 121:1-8

On 2/4/2018 I wrote: Keep being  great example, even to the believers!  We need examples too. 1 Timothy 4:12
This week I didn't write anything.  Last week Stephanie asked me to write to her more often.  So, this week I wrote her every day.  However, I forgot to put in my  spiritual comment this week.  Ho hum.  Just more difficult that I thought it would be to keep up on it.

3/4/2018 L:  Walk tall, you’re a daughter, a child of God!!!

3/11/18: Be pure in heart, and liken yourself unto Christ.  I know it's hard, but I believe in you!
Mathew 5:8

I have been so behind on doing e-mails to my poor hermanas.  I feel HORRIBLE.
Every time I say I'm going to be better, I do for a while, and then go back to not fitting it into my life.  These girls are important and need my love and attention!!!!!!!
So, off to write some e-mails!


So, I totally wimped out after like, 6 months.  Total fail!
I mean, I wrote e-mails, but no more inspiring quotes or stuff like that. 

AND she's been home for like, 6 months.  So, I didn't even post this on time!
Such a slacker person I am.

Happy Birthday Sabrina Dee

Spent Sabrina's 19th birthday in the hospital up in Jackson, Michigan. 



Not exactly how it was suppose to be. 

Sabrina was involved in a roll-over accident, and when the truck rolled, it landed on her.  We are currently in a waiting game.  

Keep the room quiet.
No TV, no radio.
Speaking only in hushed tones.  
No touching.

All this is to get the brain to concentrate on one thing.  Healing itself. 

They don't want her brain to worry about stimulation.  They don't want her brain to think about "What sensation is that?"  All they want her to do is heal. 

Because then, and only then will we know the extent of the damage.

Happy first day of being 19 little girl. We're in this for the long haul.

Your family loves you.

We are all in your corner, and your corner is super full.
