Vivian overcame fear, which is one of the promises we have been talking about in primary that comes from reading your book of mormon everyday. She was SUPER scared to go to swimming lessons. I mean full on fit, scared. We talked about the promise she has to overcome fear because she has been doing what the prophet asked. We practiced saying out loud, "HUSH!" to the part of her brain that is telling her to be scared- she like doing this. She was brave, had faith, and she swam like a champ. So proud of her. Grateful that Heavenly Father keeps His part of the deal!
A good reminder for myself to hush that fearful part of my brain and trust that God keeps his promises and we have heaven's help.
The best part of this story though, came later.
After we dropped Sadie off at the MTC we went and got lunch. As we waited for our food, I told Viv, let's say a little prayer for Sadie so she can feel calm and happy. Viv rubbed the necklace around her neck that Sadie had given her, paused for a second, then quietly leaned over and said in the sweetest, trusting voice, "Sadie can overcome fear just like I did."
And I believe she will. Thanks for the reminder Viv.
Love these girls.
