Blessings~

Did u know when you go to the temple and do initiatories, that those blessings are promised to u as well? I thought that when u go and take out your own endowments, and do your initiatory that that was it. I was wrong, that's why it's good to go to the temple often, I always take home something new that I didn't know before. I don't do initiatories very often but when I do, I get teary eyed everytime listening to all the blessings us women receive it's just overwhelmingly beautiful to hear~ I love it. I am so grateful to be able to enjoy the many wonders of the temple and all the beauty and reminding it has to offer me. I am grateful to know that those blessings I received when taking out my own endowments are given to me again everytime I go. It's wonderful. I am amazed at the temple working women who offer their time and knowledge to us, time and time again. It's so wonderful to belong to a church full of amazing people. Amazing, smart, and selfless :) I LOVE GOING TO THE TEMPLE, it's a safe, peaceful place for me to go and feel edified, and engulfed in the spirit. It gives me hope, more faith, and a positive outlook on what life is really about. I'm blessed!

Slacking or Lacking?

So it's been a while since I wrote here, but I think about it all the time. It's hard to write down my spiritual thoughts, & feelings when I feel as though I am slacking in all areas of my life. I know it boils down to spirituality first, and I'm unsure if I've been lacking or slacking in that area?? I was called as 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency, and I am beyond happy about that...but I feel like since I'm not the president, I can't really make a difference in what I think needs to be done, so I feel useless, and helpless. :/ I haven't gone to the temple as often as I really really need to & want to, I haven't been doing scripture study & personal prayers. I am just stressed and when I'm stressed I think I lack, no I know I lack in faith! :'( I use to pride myself in having unwavering faith, & now I can't say that. I don't know what has changed, but all I know is I need to get back the faith I once had. I need to feel at peace again. So I ask u who read this blog to please pray for my weak moment/trial I am facing, I need to get outta the slacking/Lacking phase & into the crackalackin!! Lol :)
