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!
