Thoughts
Just thoughts bouncing around that have found their way to the blogosphere.
In life it seems we each are dealt a set of "stuff" good and bad. I think now though, I realize we all have stuff and that it is uniquely ours and we have to own our own stuff. There is no dishing it off to someone else to fix. They can't and they also have there own stuff. That doesn't mean we don't help others or let them help us but we recognize that it is our stuff and with a realization that only Jesus Christ can take my unique stuff and make it my strengths instead of my weakness. That is powerful. That is the real freedom God gives us through the Atonement.
We all have times ( I do.) when our worst shines through and who ever happens upon us at that time gets to see the emperor with no clothes. Its humbling but in the long term it makes us better if we turn to Jesus Christ. It is humbling. Hard, humbling, but where we find strength again. This is a process that bears repeating often because we are who we are. Mortal. But to find happiness in the mortal is just why we are here. That is the plan of happiness. Jesus Christ has the power to take whatever we give Him be it a crazy day with the kids to life’s defining moments. He is there. He is our Savior. He is our Redeemer. He knows how to take what we give Him and carry us through.
(Looks like I didn't post this a while back so I guess today is as good as any day to post it. I know why I didn't post it. Because I am a chicken. :-) I had been feeling like some stretching was coming my way and I thought hey if I don't write what I am thinking maybe I won't have to stretch. Nope, it never has really worked that way, but we can try right? I wrote this before I got sick. I sit here not knowing with what or why I am in pain and am very fatigued, but trying not to whine. After all I know compared to many it is a small thing. I try to smile and focus on the many other blessings I really do have in life and am grateful for. It looks like I wrote a future note to self above. Ugh. Well we just keep trying eh?)
Night all.
