Morning Thoughts

It has been a long time since I have updated this blog or any blog for that matter. Life is always full of adventure and fun that seems to keep me on my toes. This morning however, I was lying in bed and felt impressed to get up and post a few comments. Lots of events have aspired since my last post. My family and I are both doing well. Just plugging along with the everyday lessons of having children and figuring out what it means to be a good parent. Sometimes sleep is a fantasy I long for, but hope that it will be mine again in the future. I am forever grateful for my life and many blessings that are mine and my family's'. The reason I felt impressed to write this morning is due to the dreams that I have had the past few nights. I would wake up from these dreams and my heart would feel so heavy with pain because of the things that I had just seen. At times in these dreams I have been a fly on the wall and others I would be right in the middle of the calamity. When I woke up this morning at 6:00 a.m. I could barely breath. Of course now sleep was an impossibility so I decided to get up and read my scriptures to try and better understand the things that I'd seen. As I opened my scriptures and began studying peace entered my room almost immediately. The thoughts that I had while reading is what I wanted to share with you this morning. So many things are transpiring all around the world right now but we have no need to fear. When it all comes down to it nothing else matters but our faith, relationships, and knowledge. We need to Trust in God. You hear that so often that you might have not heard it as emphatically as I meant it.. Trust in God, overcome the things of Babylon ( the world). When it all boils down to it all the distractions of our everyday lives can pull us away from the things that matter most. If we truly trusted in God it wouldn't matter what others thought of our lives but that we were living to be the best that we possibly could be. All things in our lives would take on a new meaning. Allowing to be taught both spiritually and physically and mastering ourselves with obedience to the Lord's commandments. The way we are suppose to go is not a mystery to those who are seeking. Yes it takes dedication, effort, and sacrifice. The lord has given us the essential information to know perfectly how to live in righteousness and live worthily to be with him again. This is our test NOW. It DOES matter what you do with and in your life. I am a firm believer that the Lord does not want us to live in fear, but look forward to everyday with a smile. We should go about our daily lives doing good and enjoying everything about life. He wants all that is good for us. He loves us. He lives.
