Good times

Just a quick note for me (this is my journal after all!) to remember  how good times can be. It has been a hard couple of months and some days I have felt like I just couldn't do it anymore. This 5th baby coming has caused more stress than ever and I still get major anxiety just thinking about being in charge of one more sweet little person. Can I really do it?
Through much prayer and studying, I have come to realize how much the Lord knows me. How much he is aware of my every need. And, especially, how much he loves me. I feel confident that I will be a good mother of 5 and I know that I will have the ability to teach all of them what I need to and most of all, give them all the love that I need to give them.
Today, I feel that there is brightness at the end of the road and that I can do all things! Of course, I had to write down how I am feeling today because we all know that tomorrow brings new challenges and I wanted to be able to remember the good.
One of my new favorite sayings:
Fear not. Be of good cheer. 
Your Future is as bright as your Faith.
Thomas S. Monson

Oh Bree! You will always be someone I look up to and wonder how it's possible to do all that you do. Documenting today so I can remember it tomorrow is a big lesson I am learning lately. I cannot believe how easy fear creeps in! Not only will you teach this new little baby but you have taught 4 other little ones and they will help pass that on through their examples. Trust me when I say that you have been an example to so many people that we all KNOW you will be the perfect mother of 5.
I miss the days we'd see each other outside and apologize for not coming out at 5:30 in the morning to meet for running. I really would be so great to be able to meet up again. Good luck with these next few months.
