Capacity Will Increase

These last two months have been completely amazing and exhausting at the same time. 

I have made a lot of changes into daily life in order to become a better me. Homemaking skills. Cleaning. Cooking. Spirituality. Temple Attendance. Daily Personal Study. Family Scriptures. Family Home Evenings. Service. Young Women's Programs. Church Participation. Family Development. Community Involvement. Teaching Bee. Tot School and various Life Skills.  Whew!! 

Some days I feel completely bogged down. Why am I trying so hard? Why don't I give myself a break? I deserve a break right?

Well through my craziness I have learned that I can do all of this. Not taking a break has made all the difference. Doing the dishes daily is so much easier than waiting for a few days. 

My daily habits are just a part of my routine. Sure some days I don't study my scriptures as much as I would like but I know every morning while Bee is eating breakfast that's my time to get some reading in. Even when he is done eating he will entertain himself for a bit while Mum finishes reading her scriptures. He has even sat on my lap while I study for a bit. I am hoping that in the future Bee will know why I study my scriptures and will have a desire to study his own. All I can do is set an example and teach along the way. 

I have been focusing more on others and being proactive in dealing with situations. I know there are some stresses in my life that just aren't ready to give up the ghost yet but I can be prepared and protected for whatever comes my way. 

In Relief Society there was a quote by Eliza Roxcy Snow. 

“Let your first business be to perform your duties at home,” she said. “But, inasmuch as you are wise stewards, you will find time for social duties. . . . By seeking to perform every duty you will find that your capacity will increase, and you will be astonished at what you can accomplish.”

I love this quote because I have found it to be true. While I have struggled with many different things over the last couple months I have grown and am more ready and willing to take what the future gives me. 

I secretly am curious as to what my Heavenly Father is preparing me for. I'm excited but also a little nervous! 

"God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called."

I am so blest for the opportunities I have and the life I have been given.
