I tell my kids that a bad attitude is like a flat tire, you don't get very far until you change it. I need a minute to change my own flat tire here...ok, I'm good, thanks. I have been stuck in a rut for the past few days. I am pretty sure it is mostly doe to the baby blues I get for a few weeks after each baby, it won't last long and then I'll be back to my cheeky self again. Until then I'll have to look at it as a challenge.
Today was tough. I was running some errands and stressing about...pretty much everything. I realized that my bad attitude was interferring with my ability to do the will of Heavenly Father. I was spending so much time focusing on all the things I don't like here and all of the people I miss back in Utah that I was not focusing on finding people to serve, opportuinites to be a missionary and all of the reasons that I was so excited to move out of state.
I have really been looking forward to going to church. At first I was aching for something familiar, and I still do, but now I am looking forward tot he spiritual recharge I will get, the calling I am sure is going to come, and the request to speak in sacrament meeting that won't be too far in the future I am sure. I have worked really hard the last 2 years to be more outgoing and comfortable in my own skin. It is that which I have worked so hard for that will help me to be a light to others, to serve, love, and do as Heavenly Father would have me do. I am here because He sent me here and I can't wait to put down some roots and really bloom, even if it is only temporary.
So, good bye to my bad attitude and hello new challenge and adventure. I love adventures, and I even love challenges. I'm ready!
