In life it seems that we constantly struggle with the same things. For me one of those is scripture study. I'm hot and cold all the time. It frustrates me more than anything. I feel so good when I do it, but for some reason I always fall off the horse again. Well, last week I decided to get back on the horse Again, so I decided that noone can eat in the morning, before we sit and read a chapter in the scriptures. Believe it or not, IT'S WORKING! It makes it much more of a priority. The girls are great about it too. They sit and listen to me read and then I explain as we go along. I've also done my visiting teaching and have been to the temple this month.
I'm reminded that one of Satan's tools is discouragement. For me...I'm having a great month and doing the things I should, but Satan always seems to make me feel like I'm not doing good enough and that my best is not exceptable. It creates this sense of dissatisfaction in life. I am just looking to feel at peace and satisfaction knowing I'm doing the best I can. Oh well, I guess that's the lesson to be learned.

I struggle here too. This month has been great because, like you, I finally decided that it had to be the very first thing that I do each day (well, second, I brush my teeth first) in order to get it done. It has made such a difference, I started referring to it as my magic "good day" pill. If I do it, I have a good day. If not, all bets are off! :) Keep up the good work
