Since I have been a blogger now for about 4 months, (3 1/2 which I didn't do anything, but that is besides the point) I have figured it all out. Yes and I am sure you would all like to know the Meaning of Life. Well it has been a very interesting couple of months. Without going into any dirty details, because they really don't matter in the large scheme of things, I have learned a lot these couple of months. Hopefully I won't forget these lessons, and as they say in church, "please help us (me) to apply them to our(my) lives." So here is what I have learned...
Tess just threw a huge fit and I lost all my great awe inspiring, world moving, life changing thoughts.
Oh well I guess I will have to learn it all over again.
Typical motherhood moment.
Originally I was going to end my blog there and talk later about lessons I feel I have learned, but really that is the meaning of life. We learn a lesson, then we forget it, then we learn it again. Life happens in between our great epiphanies. We have to learn these lessons over and over again so we can slowly begin to change. After awhile we will start to actualize these lessons and become better people. Throughout these last couple of months a scripture has be running through my head, almost daily:
2 Nephi 2:25
"Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."
Mainly, "men are that they might have joy" has been in my head. I really feel that this is one of the lessons we are to learn in this life. What joy is. Trials are there to make us stronger, but they are also there so that we may have joy. If we never had bad stuff happen to us, how would we feel joy? I am truly grateful for the trials that I have been given these couple of months and continue to struggle through. It has given me a chance to stop and reflect on what is really important. And it has given to a chance to learn how to enjoy little things, and be grateful for what I do have. I feel like a spoil child whose eyes have been opened. I am embarrassed that I haven't been more grateful for...everything. Hopefully, I can change and learn this lesson sooner, rather than later.
