Not perfection, but strive for Grace

 Its crazy how things change in our lives. Our desires, goals, entertainment choices, hobbies ALL Change from time to time. And that is okay!
I think we need to embrace life. Not only the times when the sun is shining,,, but when its raining too! As I blogged before I believe in the plan of salvation and I KNOW we were instructed concerning our life here on earth before we came. And we AGREED to come anyways! So when life is tough think "Its worth the prize in the end (Eternal life)!".
I believe that eternal life is for the faithful, but I also believe that we will be pleasantly surprised with how many people will be there. I think we who grew up LDS think we need to be perfect in order to get that great blessing in the end....but come on!!! We know there is NO such thing as perfect by now...right? All we have to do is our best and the Lord will make up for our short comings. I like the quote that says, "Simply do what you can do...in the best way you know how, and the Lord will accept you effort" -Pres Gordon Hinckley
So come on, accept that no house is perfectly clean, their is no perfect parenting, you only can do what you can which means the occasional "No", and your weight, race, age doesn't define you..its what's in your soul that matters most,,,its where we are going, not where we have been.
Ive been taking the discussions and it was said that when we are judged it most likely isnt going to be a list of all wrongs read to us,,,but more so questions on where we are going and how we are getting there that matters most.
Please have a good rest of the week!!! Please say your prayers!!! Heavenly Father so much wants to know how we are and is so willing to help is we ask and keep a look out for the answers! A quote I always liked was something like "He doesn't always come when you call him... but He is always on time!".
