My Spiritual High
I've really been trying to be more spiritual lately. I've been slacking off on important things for a long time using the excuse of, "Oh, I don't have a lot of time as a mother."
I read a bunch of entries from 2004-05 last week, and i was reading my scriptures every day and praying every day, and... I miss that. I feel like my life goes a lot smoother when I'm doing all the things I'm supposed to be doing.
SO I've decided to go back to the standards I had back then. I'm not saying I've been perfect in this new goal, but i'm trying. And it's not like I've been a bad person since I've been married... I just feel like I could be better. Try harder.
I had to give a lesson in Relief Society today on temples, and I realized that we don't go to the temple as often as I'd like to... so I talked to Andrew and we've made a goal to go once a quarter starting next month.
I have to speak next Sunday AND give the 5th Sunday lesson with the RS Presidency to the combined Relief Society/Priesthood. So I've been reading up on that today and made the decision to stop watching some of the TV shows that I watch b/c I don't like the feeling they give me when I watch them. And I decided last week that I'm not going to watch TV on Sundays anymore b/c that's something I did in college, and I haven't done it in a long time.
I just want to be BETTER! I've missed this feeling of... hunger for the gospel. I want to be the best I can be.
I know most of you probably don't care about this.... but I wanted to write it down while I'm still on my spiritual high b/c I'll more than likely forget this as the week progresses. That's what I like about Sundays. I get that nice spiritual boost that helps me survive the rest of the week. It reminds me of my eternal goal.
Well, my brain is kinda fried. I tried to read some more for my talk/lesson, and I couldn't concentrate. Today was a good day filled with church and family. My brother-in-law is home for 2 weeks from Afghanistan!! It's so good to see him with his family and what a difference him being home makes. I love seeing my sister's family so happy. :) I can't wait until he's home for good, so they can be a family again b/c I know it's definitely no fun to be separated from your family. been there. done that. didn't even get a t-shirt.
GOOD NIGHT!!
