Quite a few people know, mainly because I don't see the point in keeping it secret, that we are trying to have another baby. Brian and I have always felt like four is the right number for us as a family. In the [song] words of Big Bird..."[We] just adore four, it's the number for [us]." Also as many of you know...I'm just not really good at pregnancy. Well, not pregnancy per say, the "getting there" part, and also a little of the "staying there" part. Liam being the ONLY exception to this statement.
This time around we are coming up to our year mark, as to the decision to pull the (mostly unneeded) goalie, and go for it. Brian of course is going to correct me and say that while the goalie came out almost a year ago, I did officially panic and stepped up the defence a little, so we actually haven't been "trying" for a year, maybe 8ish months...BUT STILL...
I teach primary at church, the 11-12 year old class. This year we are studying the Old Testament in the Bible. Next week we are discussing the Creation. I found a quote from the Prophet Joseph Smith in my lesson for next week that gave me cause to pause, and think as I was reading. It goes like this... “Now, the word create came from the word baurau, which does not mean to create out of nothing; it means to organize; the same as a man would organize materials and build a ship”.
So here's the thinking part. Somewhere I've read, either in the Old Testament, or in the books of Abraham, or Moses in the Pearl of Great Price, that Jesus commanded the dust to ORGANIZE it's self into a world...and it obeyed. Viola, EARTH. Now this could be the Big Bang Theory, it could be the Creationism theory, it could be something we have never considered, it really doesn't matter to me.
The take-away from this is "CREATE=ORGANIZE".
God gave a Man and a Woman the Divine power to create life. I'm not trying to open an anti-gay subject here, but we all know that a man has a seed that reacts to the seed that a woman has to create a beautiful miracle. It's the way it's been since the beginning of time, and will be forever. Science STILL needs the seeds that humans create in order to make babies. Even to clone. Test tube babies are first organized as seeds taken from a man and a woman. I think you get the picture.
I pride myself on my ability to organize. I am really, fairly organized. Only a few areas of my life are under-organized. I work to straighten those out daily, and have realized that sometimes, those fall into the "forces of nature" category, and can't be forced into a box, or a folder, or even filed away, however...I'm an organized person. (Please, in no way, take this to mean that I could write a book on the subject...)
However, after today's wander through my brain, I have come to realize this...
Apparently I(my body) suck(s) at organization, and furthermore, I'm (my body is) not as obedient as even the dust of the earth.
I guess I'm going to have to see a specialist, and get ORGANIZED. :(
