13 And I will also be your alight in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the bpromised land; and ye shall cknow that it is by me that ye are led.
Elder Uchtdorf's Talk: "We Are Doing a Great Work and Can't Come Down"
This scripture felt like very good advice I need in my life right now. And I love the story Elder Uchtdorf bases this talk on. Karl found it for me yesterday when we were both having a really hard time getting excited about all the seemingly important time consumers taking up our lives right now. Poor guy has had to put up with a break down a week from this girl since school started again.
Do you ever find that you become so busy that you loose your mind? Like every little thing you write on your to do list is a life or death matter?
That's me this semester to a 'T'. This talk is given to the men of our church, but it's completely applicable to all of us.
It was a good wake up call for me to start recognizing what items on my to do list fall under the "burned out light bulb" category and to re-focus on not crashing and burning with the really important stuff like my sanity and health (spiritual and temporal).
I love being a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints:)
