Change Course...

Oh my goodness!! Yesterday was HORRIBLE!! It seriously felt like a Monday! I have really been wanting to incorporate the rocking chair that was Granny's that is making great decoration in Chazlyn's room, out in our living room. I moved every piece of furniture out there except for the TV, over and over again. Clint got home and did the same exact thing, just to put it back the way that I had it in the first place It just doesn't have a good feel to it. I liked the way that he had done it last night, but he didn't the longer that he looked at it, but likes it alright with the way the it is now, but it is driving me crazy!! I kept telling him that I would just put the chair back in Chazlyn's room since we were having a hard time fitting it in, but he insisted that I leave it!

Although I had a lesson planned, Monday somehow got away from us, as did Family Home Evening. Tuesday came, and with our furniture situation the way that it was, it never happened then either. Here we are at Wednesday, half way through the week, and I am sitting here wondering, is today going to be the day that I will actually be able to give this 3 minute lesson that I have planned on prayer and where to turn to?? And that's when it dawns on me... Am I "really" praying hard enough?? Am I spending enough time on my knees?? Am I even doing what I am trying to teach my family?? My answer is... No... I felt guilt as I pondered that, and not a guilt that I want to carry. Here I am, almost half way through the first month that was to bring new change, but have I changed with new resolutions, or am I continuing on the path of last years failures? Well, today is a new day, a day that has a fresh start. Why wait for the new year to begin to have new resolutions, when each day we have a fresh start at making that change. Changing the way that we eat, or getting out and exercising, or simply getting down on our knees and praying, and starting out the year with a better relationship with our Father in Heaven. That's where I am. My husband has made a commitment, and has started reading the Bible. He does it every night. What I am doing every night that could bring me closer?? Today is my new starting point.

Isn't it funny how we can go, day after day, doing the same thing, and it kind of gets to us after a while? I am kind of giggling as I think about my children and wonder, are they tired of the same thing day after day?? Each morning, or most mornings, they both wake up in a really good mood, never once hearing a complaint out of their mouths about waking up to she same house, with the same stuff, doing the same thing. I guess that it helps only having one that has a big vocabulary, and one that can't even put 2 words together. But even still, I wonder if they ever want to get out of the house and do something that is different. As my sisters motto is Simplify, I am going to make mine Change... No wait, isn't that the motto that Obama used to even get into office?? Mine is going to be Change Course. That means that we are going to change our course in the opposite direction. We are going to church now, but we need to be doing more than just that. The same thing with us eating better, but we could be doing more than just changing our eating, we could always exercise?? I don't know, i kind of am to the point that I want to take a step out of my comfort zone and live a little more, but in a good way.
