Today is Sunday. Aka...a day of rest, The Lord's day, first day of the week, last day of the weekend, church day, the Sabbath. There are many ways to refer to this day.
This morning I got up and attended a leadership meeting. Then I waited for my family to arrive and we sat together and worshipped God through singing hymns, hearing prayers, partaking of the sacrament and listening to the speakers share their thoughts about repentance and forgiveness. And then went to Relief Society where I heard a beautiful lesson and excellent comments. The Holy Ghost was strong there. I felt promptings and was inspired. It was such a nice day.
Then I look at my computer and realized I missed 4 days of my 30 day blog writing challenge. I started thinking negatively about myself and my goal. I started feeling bad that I broke my record. When I set a goal, I like to accomplish it and be perfect at it. Well, guess what? I am happy to report that I quickly turned those negative feelings around and decided I was not going to use this as an opportunity to beat myself up. I was going to use this as a chance to start over...to put into action the lessons I learned at church about repenting and forgiving. Now, please understand, this is not a serious thing, I realize the triteness of this example, but it is in the small areas of your life that you change that can make a difference in the big areas of your life.
So today I will continue my blogs and start a new streak. Here is Day 1 of my continued challenge. Way to go Me!
