Still loved....

2nd day of teaching Relief Society, but 1st lesson out of the manual. I should probably come clean and say that although I "skimmed" the lesson a week or so ago, I didn't really pick it up since then. Yes, I was guilty of reading through it in Sunday School. Halfway through Sunday School, I realized that somehow I had skipped to the next lesson without realizing it. I can tell you that next week's lesson is pretty great. :) Relief Society, for me, started pretty badly. I also play the piano and the opening song didn't go well. For some reason, the piano was echoing weird and completely throwing me off. It sounded terrible. Almost like I had forgotten how to play. Oh well.
When I started the lesson, I realized that, although I knew what I was going to say first, and last, I had no clue what to say in the middle. I kept stumbling over my words. I knew it wasn't going well. When I got to the point that I froze and nothing was coming out, an angel came and saved me. Her name's Megan. I love that girl. She made a comment and others started commenting. Things started to come together and gel. From then on, the Spirit was able to come into the room and the rest of the lesson was amazing. I learned so much and was so grateful to have the girls with me. I learned that there is so much stuff in life that I get bogged down in that really has nothing to do with, well, life. The reason we're here and what it's really about is so completely off so many of the things I do. I've decided that I really need to do better. I'm terrible at remembering and keeping in focus the things that I have learned that I need to implement in my life. So, I'm going to try something. I'm going to stop doing, or get rid of something specific in my life that doesn't have anything to do with the eternal scheme of things and replace it with something better. I haven't chosen yet, but I'll be thinking about it. I'm thankful that my Heavenly Father had mercy on me even though I procrastinated. He is aware of how crazy I've felt lately with working overtime at work and everything. He knows everything that's bogging down my mind. I'm thankful so much for that knowledge and blessing.
