We'll if you needed one more sign that the end of the world is coming, here it is!!! I actually created a blog and posted to it. Everyone knows about the fatty singing, but the fat guy blogging is soo much more the bringer of doom.
I actually decided to start this blog yesterday morning at about 3:00AM. I have been struggling as I feel like the world is collapsing in on me. I have been sleeping mostly thanks to the use of prayer and faith. I woke up at 2:00AM and I couldn't get my mind to stop. I finally got up and went upstairs to pray and look for peace. What I found was what I truly needed. I have an app on my iPad that let's me download the last Ensign pretty much the minute it is published. Well when I got up I had a notice that the Feb Ensign was available. I downloaded it, and started reading it. I was so spiritually fed. I read a bunch of articles and each one had something that I needed to hear and feel. I read about communicating with your spouse (I thought a spouse was only a special person you plot against with the kids, also a great person to get your kids to compare you against so they always know who the cool daddy is.). Well after reading the article I realized that I am supposed to actually talk to her. Who knew!! All joking aside it made me realize that I can do better communicating with Eve (Eve if you read this and comment, I will go back to plotting with the kids against you! I am thinking flour and turning off the hot water while you are in the shower!). At the very end of the article ever was 1 small brief paragraph that talked about using these communication techniques in your prayers. The last line was simply "if you pray superficially, Heavenly Father can only answer you distantly." (paraphrased). I realized that I needed to change the way I pray. I have always prayed asking and thanking for what is important in my life, but leaving out my feelings and concerns behind my request. I did this because I know Heavenly Father can see my heart and know my sincerity. I realized I should be sharing my feelings and concerns because it allows Heavenly Father to help me change my perceptions and adjust my feeling to fits his needs for me. After I finished reading I knelt in prayer and applied my new knowledge. I felt so refreshed and changed. As I stood up from my prayer, I got the clear impression that my Ipad was given to me, so I could keep an active journal. I immediately found a could journal app and wrote down my feelings. I decided I would start a blog too (Even if it meant taking crap from April.) (April I am quite positive I can influence your kids to plot against you with me, so watch it!! You won't even see it coming!). So here I am writing a blog. I will fill everyone in on the 5 crazy people at our house in another post coming soon.
