Improve Each Shining Moment



Dear Friends,

This morning’s study was kind of a toss-up. I could either read the last talk from this week’s Institute required reading...or I could evaluate my life as it currently stands.

Well, the results are in: my life evaluation seemed to be a more pressing matter. After listing the things I SHOULD do daily, I listed the things I WANT to do. I decided that everything on my ‘should’ list was also on the other. I also had two questions, once I had brainstormed my life: 1. Am I doing enough? 2. Am I doing too much?

Once I had created my daily schedule with all the contents of my lists, I looked at it, still feeling that something was off. There was one item on there that I felt was necessary, especially since I did it every day. But, I prayed about how I could fix it and then listened. I just sat there until the words flowed. I grabbed paper and made another list, this time of things to change.

I am glad I was directed to think more about my daily choices. I know I will have Heavenly Father’s help as I strive to do what He asks of me.

(1 Nephi 3:7) ...for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

Sincerely, Shelbi
