Last week we had a fireside from Elder Doxey of the 70- Part of his talk focused on us being in the decade of decisions (20-30). I realized I'm half way through my decade. And so I have been pondering, have I made good choices, could I make better choices? I am very happy with my choice to attend Snow, UVU, serve a mission, and finally even being here in Vernal (lots of great growth opportunities personally and career wise). Most of the choices I wouldn't have made without direction from my Heavenly Father. Even with that knowledge, I still find myself resisting when pushed in a new direction. Will I ever get it?
I recently decided to leave facebook for awhile - that means most people won't be reading this, but that's okay. I decided that how much it was a regular part of my life wasn't the best choice of time/energy. So I'm taking a break. I recently read on their of other people's choices that broke my heart. I'd rather be clueless to such things and also avoid everyone's emotional dumpings they throw on their status - I will miss staying caught up with weddings and babies though, so if that happens to you, keep me in the loop!
Anyway - Elder Oaks talk about good, better, best has been weighing on my mind for years - you can watch it here. I only have so much time in my day/life - it's time to make the BEST choices.
I am grateful for the gospel to help guide me in this decade of decisions.
Last, I again just love this artist. So classic. And I am still trucking along with my crochet. Hopefully I can make a lot of progress this weekend.
I totally understand about the facebook thing. I've actually hidden a couple people because I don't want to read all of the negative things they have to say.
ReplyDeleteI'm still reading. :) Here's to making awesome choices!
ReplyDeleteGlad I can still keep up with you via your blog. You are a wonderful person, and I love reading your honesty, your feelings, and your desire to always do your "best". I've taken a few breaks from facebook over the years. It's a good thing to do that from time to time. The adversary certainly knows what will distract us from what we really should be focusing our attention on. I need to do better in that department, for sure. Keep up the writing, I always love to read it!!
