If I get through this week...

So my goal this week is to survive!  My plate is full, and I am wondering where in the world I am going to fit in a workout.  I have faith that if I do something, anything, then the Lord will bless me.  I am definitely putting my trust in Him, is it the trust that keeps me going.  I am overwhelmed and at times it seems trivial to complain to my Heavenly Father about it.  But I know He listens and understands.  He answers even the simplest of my prayers and I am so grateful.   I realize that my needs, my feelings, and myself in general are not trivial to Him.  And the answers I receive are a testament to that.

My calling has been a blessing, along with teaching preschool.  It has allowed me to associate and get to know so many wonderful people who offer such great encouragement.  I am grateful for the Lord placing them in my path.  I consider myself greatly blessed to be surrounded by so many people who are continually encouraging me to be better, and loving me with my many weaknesses.

Yesterday I church I kept thinking about the gospel and life.  Some people love to hold onto the person you are when you are not your best, when you failed, or when you made a mistake.  But the thought that kept coming back to my mind is this:   It doesn't matter what you were yesterday, as long as you are better today and your are becoming what you should be tomorrow.  Heavenly Father accepts us when we are willing to repent, change, and move forward, because we are moving towards Him.

 So remember, you may have made a royal mistake yesterday, but today is a new day, and who you are today, and who you will be tomorrow is what matters.
