A change in the wind

Big and little changes for the Oliver clan.
For all those who haven't heard Mike was made the First Counselor to the Bishop in our ward. This means lots of big changes for our little fam, but I know the blessings will keep rolling in.
For the last 3 years I think Heavenly Father has been preparing our family, especially Mike by giving us life experiences and testing and proving our faith. I am grateful for all the tender mercies Heavenly Father has given us whether through family, or people who have come into our lives. Please pray for our family to be able to be resilient to life's changes. We love all of you that have touched our lives and been such great examples to us.
List of Little Changes
Lindseys going to have to wake up 1 hour earlier to get all kids ready for church Sunday mornings
Mikes going to have to wake up1 hour earlier to go to meetings
Lindseys going to have to get used to missing her honey a little more
Mike will probably have to listen to a very minute amount of more whining
Lindsey will problaby have more time for FSI and blogging at night
Mike on the other hand will probably have less time in general

List of Big Changes
Spiritual Stretching and Maturing for "Olive" us
More pondering about lifes meaning, challanges and triumphs
More Quality family time, less quantity time
More Gratitude for lifes blessings
Added measure of Spirit in our home (if we are doing our part, of course)
