Fell off the Wagon again...
So I know I'm aiming for at least 1 post a week & I failed last week & I'm feeling super unmotivated so far this week too...so I'm going to keep this short. We had family scriptures on Monday & we're reading about Lehi & his family in the wilderness. Those chapters have taken on quite a personal meaning for David & I. THIS is our wilderness. We are in the midst of it. It is miserable. But just as they were given strength to bear it, it is my personal and persistent prayer that I'll be able to also! But it's not helping to dream of how awesome the "promised land" will be when there is no sight of it! It's become difficult even to make the best of the wilderness! I could complain and I mean really let loose on all the things that are bothering me & then this would turn into a super long blog, but I don't even have the energy for it... I'll also aim to be more cheerful next blog, and on that note I'll try to think of at least one thing that I'm grateful for.... Jonathan pooped twice today without any suppository prompting, I'm super grateful for that!

I can relate. The two things I keep telling myself are it'll get better, and it could always be much worse. I suppose patience and gratitude are the most important things right now, both of which I need to use more.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, here's to hoping next week is better.
I remember....but I also remember living in married student housing, we could hear everything that went on next door. We had no money, no time, lots of pressure. Someone told me that I would look back and realize what a happy time when we were a little family all in one place, all working, and hoping and praying for strength for the day and growing together as we struggled.
