Feeling Confidant Being Who I am!

"We have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives.
We have to decide what is important and then move along at a
pace that is comfortable for us.
We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove anything, but to be what we are.
With all of those decisions we have three responsibilities.
Have joy in your husband.
Have joy in your children.
Have joy in your home."
Marjorie Hinckley

I love this quote. I found it just recently as I realized that it is okay being me. I don't have to do things a certain way to impress someone else or feel accepted by them. I just have to figure out what is the most important to the Lord and our family and then do it.

"We would do well to slow down a little,
focus on the significant,
lift up our eyes and truly
see the things that matter most.

Strength comes not from frantic
activity, but from being settled on a
firm foundation of truth & light.

It comes from paying attention to
the divine things that matter most.

Diligently doing the things that matter
most will lead us to the Saviour of the
world." Elder Uchdorft

Elder Uchdroft gives us some steps where we can begin...
Slow down
Focus on the significant
Be settled on a firm foundation of truth & light
Pay attention to the divine
Diligently do the things that matter most!

Isn't that beautiful?

As we determine what the most important things are for ourselves & our families, we can move ahead in confidence, knowing that we can be free from proving to anyone else why we do what we do. It's okay if our lives all look a little bit different. It's better that way so we can learn & grow from each other. And so we can begin right this minute to slow down and live the moment we're in more fully & with greater JOY!

Take a deep breath to unwind & laugh more. I love you my sweet sisters. I miss you this week after spending two weeks together daily...
