Challenges

Life has been full of challenges for me. I guess that's why I haven't been blogging very regularly. I just feel so drained at times. All I want to do with my free time is veg. I don't want to think. I don't want to type. I don't want to make much of an effort. When I'm stressed I just want to shut down. Doing nothing feels therapeutic, but isn't what's best all the time. It probably doesn't help that the weather has been frigid and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the sunshine.

I'm so tired. I'm tired of constantly exerting so much effort for something that is so simple and easy for everyone else! But I have no choice. The effort must be made. I do it out of motherly love.

I am more grateful then words can express for the guidance of the Holy Ghost and to be able to pray and plead with my Father in Heaven, from one parent to another (one perfect and one deeply flawed).

And so I continue on. Lifting the blessings, burdens, and challenges I have been given to carry, knowing that I will be made stronger and more capable by One Heavenly Parent.
