A day in the life.
This is a post just to clear my mind. I feel like life is more than I can handle at certain moments and then suddenly I feel like I can conquer the world. These feeling come at random times and random places, but I am thankful I have both to keep me humble and grateful!
Along with being Young Women president and trying to plan Excellence Night, New Beginnings, and Youth Conference, I am a busy mother, training for a marathon (2 more weeks), am helping a disabled aunt, and was just nominated Sunday to head up the "Special Needs Harvest Ball" for the entire St. George area. At moments I feel like I can handle it all and am actually grateful for all the opportunities I have to serve. I am however tired and doubt my ability to do everything. To make matters worse Garrett is having the same kind of month with a lot of stress and more work than he can handle (which really is a blessing). But, when he works longer so do I, and 2 tired parents doesn't work well with 5 children.
With all this said, the Lord has really blessed me. Ideas have come to my mind, events are getting planned and organized. I have had some great training runs (19 miles in 3hrs 40 min). My kids have been very obedient and helpful (well, Grace has been a trial). And most importantly, I turn more to the Lord. It is times like this that my favorite scripture comes to mind "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
So I guess when it all comes down to it, I am thankful to have the opportunity to serve the Lord, and am grateful for all those who help me along the way!
