Tonight I attended a fireside that really struck a chord with me. He (Brother Dan Riding)spoke on the scripture James 1:8 which says: "A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways." He spoke of how me must try to be the opposite of this- single minded and stable in all our ways. He pointed out that we must be strong and single-minded in all that we do. In every aspect of our lives. He challenged us to go home and look in the for the strength of youth and choose one aspect to focus on that we can improve on and "fake it til we make it."
I did just that and decided there were two I wanted to focus on. I have heard that if you write your goals and tell someone about them your chances of reaching your goals multiply. So I have decided to document here that I am going to begin working on my Gratitude, and on my Family. I am going to work on being more grateful for the things which I have and focus on my small accomplishments. I am going to focus on being a better wife and a better mother by trying to be more positive. I fear I have fallen into the slump of comparing and never being satisfied with myself. I know that the Lord would want me to do the very best I can and be satisfied with that. Satan would want me to feel unqualified. So, now it is documented and hopefully I will be well on my way to achieving my goal.
