I think that I have been doing a pretty good job with one of the personal goals I set at the beginning of the year. The Lord has really been helping me slow down, evaluate things/situations and really make people a priority, whether it be family or friends. I think a lot of this had to do with the fact that I participated in Awkening (awake21.org), a 21 Day fast. I fasted a few things, one of them being facebook. During this time it really helped me focus on my family and ultinately on the Lord. It is so true that getting away from the media and things that distract can really help put your focus on what it should be on.
I have been doing great at not getting stressed out. This is huge for me. If I'm running late I try to take it with stride. If I am frustrated with my fussy toddler, I remind myself the gift he is to me. If its crazy at work, I take a second a say a little prayer. I also take moments to really enjoy time with my son and not rush through the days I get to spend with him, or my husband for that matter. I have been making sure not to overcrowd my schedule and learning its okay to say no to things and events and not try to do everything, esp if I am doing it out of obligation. I know these things may sound simple and silly but its awesome how making these little changes are changing my life. Sorry this post was a lot about me, I'm just really excited about how the Lord is helping me and changing me.
