Inspiration Needed

Most of you don't know much about me yet but in June we moved from one state to another. I have never moved in my life. I was born and raised in my home state. My family is there and so is my husbands. When we prayed and made the decision to look for jobs out of state I told my husband that I would only move to a certain state. So he started looking there and low and behold he got a job in the state I wanted to live in. That was a definite answer to our prayers that this move was the right thing for our little family. So we took the job, found a house, rented our house, and moved in less than a month. It was exciting and so freakishly scary all at once. I knew it was right but I have had good days and bad days since moving. I miss family and friends. I miss my house and garden I worked so hard on to make my own. However I'm very grateful for the friends I have made here. Especially grateful for the friends that inspire me to be a better person, just like the ones that have asked me to join this blog. Speaking of the blog, this whole introduction leads into my story as to why I needed inspiration one dreary morning.

One of the days I was supposed to blog I was having a very bad morning. My kids started fighting right when they woke up. One of them drew all over the wall! (Don't worry it came off) At that moment I lost it. I felt like a tea pot that had been at its boiling point for to long. I dropped myself on my bedroom floor and started crying. I turned in to a drama queen. I felt like this is to much for me and I was one BIG wimp. Aren't I supposed to have the mothering thing down where day to day situations that are going to happen regardless, don't drive me crazy. I should have more patience, right? After crying for a brief moment, my little angles came down to give me a hug. I new I just needed to brace myself and work through today. My boys are amazing and actually really good boys. I just was struggling with all of these big changes and that I took it out on them. Totally unfair.

Later that morning, still feeling pretty lame. I dragged myself to my computer. I started typing a blog post and realized that I wasn't holding it together very well how can I write a positive uplifting blog. So I opened up LDS.org and started reading about subjects I know I needed to work on. About an hour later I started feeling better and inspired. I'm a good mom and everyone has bad and good days including our kids. I need to cut myself a break, pick myself up and change my attitude. Everything is actually great! Everyone is healthy and happy. I wrote my blog post for that day which was on love at home. It was the inspirational thought and post I needed that day. I felt very strongly in my heart that I needed to share this story because at our most vulnerable god is there for us. I didn't want to blog but when I started reading scriptures and talks on LDS.org my heart was calm and I felt like I could take on the day. I hope that we can provide inspiration like the kind I got that day through this blog. So people will feel uplifted and their hearts will be calm. We all go through rough days and no one is ever alone. Especially with God in our lives.

Kindest Regards
