Those Thoughts That I Are Always on My Mind These Days

Do you ever thoughts that are always on your mind?...Man I seem to....So now Im reaching out to you for your help, advice, support, etc:

1) Getting healthy again...I want to lose weight and get in shape again so bad...but struggle so bad. Bad habbits are so easy to form and so hard to get out of. Any suggestions or good ideas on how to lose weight again and get in shape. I want to do it not only to look better..but to feel better and also for future goals of starting a family. I want to be healthy for that.

2) Fun places to learn fun and low cost craft ideas for decorating our home.

3) Making married people friends. Im social enough that I enjoy having friends and things for outings, game nights, etc.

But the biggest....

4) The reality of building a strong spiritually based family...I know in the depths of my heart and the fore front my mind that Satan's goal is to attack and bring down families. From talking to Kyle and watching many of my friends marriages it seems that Satan is really attacking women...the wifes, mothers and nurterers of the families. What has been weighing on my mind is how can I stem of Satan. I know the basics but I wonder if there is more I can do. Im curious if you have noticed how Satan tries to attack you? What are the ways he is working into our lives as women that maybe we are not thinking of? Second on my mind related to this is how to help make my family spiritually strong beyond the sunday school answers. How can I be a constint student of stronger marriages and homes both spiritually and not so spiritually?

(This may also be coming from my long commute and listening to John Lunds, "For all Eternity" lecture series on CD)

The Byrd Family said...: Such good questions!! I feel like Satan tries to make me think I am too busy to take time for my kids. I need to remember that they are the priority. Nothing on my "to-do" list is more important than nurturing my children. They are what I do all day. The rest just fills the gaps, if there are any :)

I'll write more later... :); March 12, 2012 at 4:00 PM

A Thought To Live By

"You could stand with a little impracticality, I think. Your springs seem to be wound a little too tightly. Besides, the past is over, and if you think on it too closely, you either get lost in the misery of things done poorly, or get tangled up patting yourself on the back for the things you did well-which no longer matter, because they're in the past, anyway.

The future, however, is still to come-and it's always fun to look forward to the good events, as well as have an opportunity to plan for the bad"

-The Cartographer of Lost Places, "Here There Be Dragons"

Women of God

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."- Margaret D. Nadauld, "The Joy of Womanhood," Ensign, Nov. 2000, 14

"Be a Quality Person", By Elder Marvin J. Ashton

Certainly when we choose the good part, regardless of our current situation, life will be lived to the fullest. A quality life is God's greatest wish for us. Life is to be lived well in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. There should not be a waiting period.

What makes up a quality person:
1) If you have self-respect...you will not compromise you standards or beliefs
2) A quality person is someone with integrity
3) A quality person will not be offended. In life there is no time for being hurt. There should be no time to be petty. A wise person will focus on principles of optimism and hope.
4) A quality person will develop the capacity to love and be lovable.
5) A quality person will murmur not.
6) A qualioty person is one who has real faith.

Brothers and sisters, regroup, if that's what is needed. Do not wait. Rather fill your life with service, education, personality development, love for all, and other such meaningful traits. Live purpose each day.

To be in control of your life, to be a sucess regardless of your situation as a single, I recommend you come to know your Father in Heaven. Come to love Him. Always remember that he loves you and will give you guidance and support if you will but give Him a chance. Include Him in your decision making. Include Him in your hearaches and heartbreakes. Include Him when you take inventory of your personal worth.
