Sunday Thoughts...

It seems that my best ideas always come from someone else and this is no exception. On the sidebar of this blog there is a link to a Jill I know only through the blogging world. She keeps a journal just for thoughts and ideas she receives during church on Sunday. She has stacks of them! I decided now that I can actually make it through sacrament without having to take naughty children or crying babies out that I would start this lovely habit and maybe actually finish a journal. I swear I love the Jill's in my life even when I don't know them personally:) Here is a quote given this week from Elder Wirthlin:

"I urge you to examine your life. Determine where you are and what you need to do to be the kind of person you want to be. Create inspiring, noble, and righteous goals that fire your imagination and create excitement in your heart. And then keep your eye on them. Work consistently towards achieving them."
--Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Next was 4 things we need in our life to listen to the Spirit better:
1. Humility
2. Kindness
3. Purity
4. Prioritize

My favorite is Prioritize and here's why- put God first in your life and all other things will fall into place or fall away- how awesome is that!?!

One of my other goals this year is to post on this blog more. I turned my posts and pictures from last year into a journal/scrapbook courtesy of the cutest blog on the block. It was the easiest thing ever and I'm so happy to have this fun way to journal and scrapbook!!
