My journey to finding out What Matters Most

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I have been haunted by "What Matters Most". It has weighed on my mind so hard. I have evaluated each day and tried to see what I can do different. Now, my house is still not clean, and I find that I do still waste precious time, but I am doing better. I have been making the kids a special treat for breakfast before school (that makes a HUGE difference in their moods) and I have been trying to take more time to read with them, or watch them play. It will come along more and more as I strive to work harder at it.

I feel like the Lord was trying to prepare me for a new adventure. About 10 days ago, I was called to be the seminary teacher in the Axton area. Very humbling, let me just say!!!  I have only (but they are so important!!)  three students, two of them my own daughters and one who hasn't come yet. It is a huge task, even for a small class. I want them to love the scriptures the way I have come to love them, and go away each day with something they learned. I don't feel adequate enough to teach in this capacity. Through prayer, I have learned that Heavenly Father has been preparing me for months! And by trying out how to decide "What Matters Most" I will find the time to achieve just that.

I am excited and humbled. I am grateful for so many wonderful examples! Sharron, from The Redheaded Hostess, has helped me learn to study the scriptures in a whole new way. I thank her for her willingness to share her great knowledge and ideas!

New 2013 Mutual Theme “Stand Ye in Holy Places”

The new theme this next year is awesome!! I am so excited!

 “Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8).

You can read the announcement by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints here. 

I will be working on some craft projects to go with this theme soon!
