Moved

Hi Gals! As I laid in bed last night with Tom, he was worried that I have been stressed out about work, the baby, the many things going on in our life right now and asked me "Do you have any hobbies?" I sat and thought OF COURSE I have hobbies- but most of them involve quite a bit of money or are too dangerous to engage in in my current belly-licious state. So I sat and tried to think of SOMETHING that I can fill my time with to endure this pregnancy... and whala! Personal Progress popped into my mind. I realized, last night, that I have been leaning on Tom far too much to keep our family on the right track. He makes a point to read his scriptures every day, keep a journal, pray daily together and individually, get to church on time, hold FHE in our home- and so far it feels like I have just been along for the ride! What have I been doing to make my home a holier place, an escape from the troubles of this world? If anything I may have been doing the opposite. I logged onto this blog this morning and was able to read your entries, and I was deeply moved by your insights. It is comforting to hear that the things I struggle with and worry about are similar to your own.
I am not going to lie- When Elise first called me and presented the idea, for a split second I thought she was joking. But the more I thought about that... the more guilty I feel. Why would she be joking? What better way to spend our time to become more righteous daughters of our Heavenly Father?
I know that this is something I need and it couldn't have come at a better time. I am excited to let the Savior become a more integral part of my life.
So... guess I will go get that book... Today! And then post on here to let you guys know which value I am working on... is that how this is working?
Love you all.
