In Our Homeschool This Week...
Spiritually Speaking... I sort of had a "light bulb" moment this week that I wanted to document. This past month has been pretty emotional in regards to dealing with the photography (Hope and I) did for the dance studio. I don't deal well with people who are upset with me and it really makes me get anxious and have a sick feeling in my stomach. It made everything else in my life get put on hold since I couldn't distract myself away from the MESS to carry on. I started having my prayers be more sincere and more heartfelt. I became a bit more committed to scripture study. I relied more on the Lord to help me through each day. At first, I was praying that no moms would call/contact me.... but then I realized that I had the ability to call upon the enabling powers of the Atonement to help me get through the days. I took inspiration from the pioneer story of the men who were stuck along the trail west with nothing to eat and instead of praying for food, they prayed that their stomachs would be able to handle the leather that they would eat. So I got to thinking that instead of praying that no contention be brought my way - I would pray for COURAGE and PEACE and the ability to deal with whatever came before me! And you know what?... it worked!!! When the calls (or emails) came.. I dealt with it in a way that didn't ruin the rest of day. I took care of what needed to be addressed and went back to being with my family. In the moment and enjoying the kids! I am so grateful that the Atonement covers much more than just saving us from our sins.. that is can also bring us the peace and comfort that I so desperately needed!
