It's been one of those days when I need more strength than I actually have. And then it sort of hit me that I need to surround myself with more spiritual things. So I read my scriptures before my kids woke up & instead of my regular music, I made a playlist with just LDS music. What a difference it has made. I can't believe how much I let the world block my view of what's really important & what will make me happy. Why don't I remember that my everyday life would be better if I just stay closer to my Heavenly Father? My kids would be easier, my patience wouldn't be so thin, I wouldn't be so scared about what is happening in the world, and I would feel better about myself & where I am at in Life. It's okay that I don't have a big house, or a lot of money...there are certain things that matter in life, & I have them all. Beautiful children, a loving husband, a wonderful family, & the gospel. I wish I could keep the world out of my head, because I love the way I feel when I am in tune with the spirit. My goal is to try harder to invite the spirit into my home. I need it & my family needs it.
So anyway, while searching for music, I came across some songs by Jenny Phillips, & I love her music. She's really great. In one of her songs 'To Become Like Him' she sings:
"Remember you are greatest, when you walk with God. When his light is in your eyes, you are truly strong. You don't have to prove your beauty in the eyes of them...you are divine within; you were sent here to become like Him."
I thought that was so inspiring; stop worrying about the world, & focus on becoming like God. It's on my playlist if you want to listen to it.

I was just thinking about this myself yesterday. Isn't funny how we forget how blessed we are sometimes. We are some of the richest people I know and not because of money but because of more important things! I hate how the world trys to tell us differently. Love ya!
That's one of my favorite songs by Jenny Phillips! It was our ward girls camp song last year and it was so awesome to see the girls sing it and mean it. Sometimes we forget that we NEED help from a higher source. Here's some Utah love!
It's so true! BUT so easy to forget. IT's hard not to get caught up in the world. We are lucky that we always have the gospel to fall back on :)
