Tonight I think I'll Blog About....

I have been thinking a lot about my spiritual self lately...trying to get myself to think and live on higher, more spiritual plane...if that makes sense at all. I am very good at being complacent, at not doing anything bad, but not trying or pushing too hard to move forward. This is a dangerous place to be, I have realized. You know how they always say you are either moving toward the Lord or you are moving away, but you are never standing still. I am now a firm believer in that...if you're not going one way...you are going another. I feel like by not working hard on my relationship with the Lord, that I was moving away from Him, but slowly without even realizing what was happening...until one day....BAM!!! I realized that I was letting the world in more than I was letting my Savior in....and that is a scary realization to come to. I love the Lord, and I had forgotten Him...or taken Him for granted is more like it. Life's to hard to go through without the Lord to support us and carry us through. I know that the Lord died for me, for all of us. I know that He knows me personally, and is aware of me and my feelings and troubles. I know that He has a perfect love for me...even with all of my flaws. I am so blessed to know who I am...that I am a daughter of God, and that he loves me. I am grateful for a family that loves me and supports me with a Christ-like love. I am grateful to be a mother...that the Lord has trusted me with my two girls who are so precious. I am grateful for a husband who loves the Lord and loves me more than I deserve. I am so blessed in my life. I love my Savior.
