A challenge

A recently returned missionary shared a challenge given to her on the mission from Wendy Watson Nelson. It is this:
Each day, ask a question, then read your scriptures to find the answer. 
I'm accepting this challenge. It will add meaning to my short reading sessions. 
Today's question:
What does Molly need during the night, why isn't she sleeping?
As I read President Uchtdorf's message in the July Ensign this was the answer(s) I received. 
Waking up in the night with Molly, as well as her sporadic and short naps, is strengthening my character. I'm relying on the power of the atonement to get me through each day. I'm learning compassion for others who are awake every night.  I'm learning that my priorities really are spiritual health, family relationships, and homemaking. I feel it a great day when something is done in all three of those areas and it does happen. 
-It is possible that it's allowing us to be more flexible. If she was completely on a schedule, I would have a harder time leaving the house and doing things with the kids/family. 
This is Molly in her swing. She was placed a little awkwardly but she had a good nap there. 
Those pictures are deceiving. They make our grass look green!
