You see, I'm one of those people who has the desire to do good all the time, but my follow through is terrible. I can talk and hope and pray about getting in better health, but yet I sit on the couch and do nothing about it.
I always think about the person I was on my Mission and even pre-mission, and how I was always so faithful, reading my scriptures everyday, writing in my journal and just making good choices. I want that person back...yet I'd rather be on FB and play games than read my scriptures. Etc, etc, etc.
So, I decided that this week every time I have those desires to do something good, I'm going to do them and not let my natural self get in the way.
Yesterday I drove Ryan to work at 6:30am. Usually when I get home I tend to fall back asleep until I need to get ready for work. Well, I was determined to get home and read my scriptures in Spanish. And I did! I read for a good 30 minutes, enjoying practicing my Spanish speaking skills as I read out loud. This was a much better choice then going back to my bed and sleeping.
Today I came home from dropping Ryan off again, read my scriptures in Spanish again, and decided that I would go back to sleep. I've been feeling quite depressed lately for some reason...probably just waiting for Aunt Flo to visit...and I didn't want to get ready for work. The thought even came to me that I could just call in. I fought and I fought with myself. What would happen if I didn't go to work? Would everything be ok without me there today? Would my bosses see me as an irresponsible person? Oh, how I just want to sleep the day away and have no cares or worries. I just want to world to go away for the day...
...but I made the choice, after a long while, to get up, take a shower and go to work. I'm happy I'm here. It's been a good day.
What good choices have you made today?
