The Lord Loves You Cam.

I woke up today a little down. For no reason, but every reason at the same time. I know I am richly blessed and that I need to always remember that. But I have the problem/blessing with always wanting to do more, to always wanting to be better that sometimes this really stretches me out of shape. I woke up really thoughtful of my life and the things going on in my life. I have a wonderful family that loves me more than anything, I have an amazing boyfriend that would do anything for me, I have my Savior that has already done everything for me, I have my God that wants me to return to Him, I have this gospel to guide me back to Him, I have my Kalamity family that is always there for me, I have so many talents that bless others, I have a job, I have a working car, I have everything I could ever ask for, I have friends that won't ever forget me, I have everything I could need. But am I giving enough?

I've been thinking about this all morning. After getting ready this morning, I sat down to read a little and this is what I came across..."Some take the plan of salvation too lightly and do not try. Others try too hard. In fact, most faithful people at some time mistakenly think that they have to do more than possible. Thus smitten, they stretch themselves out of shape...This view is wrong because it is not guided by faith in the wisdom of God; it does not quite trust his simple requests. Sometimes it is oddly convenient, selfish in a way, to live a life of extremes and distortions rather than to keep things balanced. But the Lord is pleased with a life lived in balance. He asks that we do what we can and no more. He will do the "more" part. There are many versions of doing all we can, and each of them is balanced..."

WOW, does God know me or what? Feeling overwhelmed and blessed I knelt to pray and pour my heart out. At the end of my prayer the Spirit whispered to me, "The Lord Loves You Cam." I know this is true. And I know he is always there for me.  :)
