Listening to Elise Livingston speak in sacrament meeting before her mission made me think that Elise would understand Bex as far as recognizing Christ in her life. Not that Bex is likely to be open to that right now.
As I was pondering/processing during sacrament meeting I felt like I have become invisible at church and mostly alone at home. I don’t know how much and how long I can keep pouring into children that want to take my resources and spit in my face. I felt my place in my mission where I felt unnoticed before eventually learning that President Preece counted on me to take the assignments where he needed a steady hand despite being unsung. That sounds like much of my life in the church since 2010.
I had a temple recommend interview with President Brady and we got taking about my struggling children. Among other things he invited me to talk to my elders quorum president about the things I’m dealing with and to go do temple sealings with Laura and to listen to the promises attached to my divine role as husband and father.
Mickey skipped having a weekly check-in (“I’m not doing well”) but it’s time to keep pushing. I might keep inviting daily until it happens because there has been more than enough foot dragging already.
