Lists

In the midst of frustration last night, I wrote myself a list.

Front and back list.

I wrote out what I was thinking.

THEN, I wrote out what I was going to do about it.

A lot of the things I am going to do require active praying, listening, and doing.

There is active talking out loud on this list, which I can do for days!

There is what I will do and what I will not do.

I don't like to be told what to do.

So, I'm telling my darn self.

This is how it's going to be!

In other news, Kaydon was doing his Zoom Seminary class yesterday.

I asked him to turn it up and stay upstairs so that I could listen, too.

They spoke about praying, how to receive answers to prayers and all that good stuff.

One thing that the teacher said was something I really needed to hear.

He brought up the point about when we are like, "Is that the Spirit, or my own voice in my own head?"

This is my every minute of every dang day, People.

He said that he loved Elder Bednar's answer to this.

Elder Bednar basically said, "Who cares?!"

If it's good, it can't be not the Spirit.

And, if you are always thinking of good things to help people, that makes you a good person...

Just do it.

Listening to high school kiddos talk about sacred things is always inspiring.
