Wow. I had to think for a second what my blog address even was. It's been that long.
But anyway... I found a great article tonight and wanted to share it. It's called "Notwithstanding My Weakness" and it's by Elder Neal A. Maxwell (he was a seventy at the time.)
When I read this part I wanted to shout out loud. It spoke to my heart:
The scriptural advice, “Do not run faster or labor more than you have strength” (D&C 10:4) suggests paced progress, much as God used seven creative periods in preparing man and this earth. There is a difference, therefore, between being “anxiously engaged” and being over-anxious and thus underengaged.
Ha! I wanted to shout when I just read it again!
There is a lot of good insight in this article. Read it. Maybe I'll come back with more commentary. But for now I just had to share and now I have to go to bed.

Hear hear! That's the reason I slept in until 9:00 :)
Seriously, because that was a serious blog, there's a fine line between rationalizing and over-doing which is why we need so much to rely on the Spirit. Thanks, Kel!
It's always nice to read articles about slowing down and not feeling like we have to do everything. I will look up that article, I'm it's wonderful.
I'm sure it's wonderful- what I thought I wrote.
Thanks for sharing Kel! It is so great to be making our way through this "Telestial traffic jam" with each other! Love you!
