Today I felt like giving up!
I really truly didn't feel like I had anything left to give.
Giving my whole life is all that I know...
How can I take care of Everything! I just felt so.... unfeeling. If that is possible, Unfeeling is the way that I felt.
But.... Here I am, Home from work, away from all the stress of live..
I have a refuge, I realized today that I do have a refuge! I can walk into the front door of my Home, and the unfeeling person I was earlier, now has feelings, I can breath again.
Well now that I am feeling again I was uploading pictures off of my phone, of the events of the last couple of weeks!
And when I realize ALL of the GIVING that people have done for me, I realize that ..... Well... I think I really truly take more than I give, and I think the word for that is, Selfishness, I was so preoccupied will all of the things going on I didn't take a look back at ALL that people GIVE to me! I was like a black Hole, taking everything from people, and not giving anything Back really! There are so many around me, who need help, who need comfort, and I am too busy pitying myself for what I give, that I don't even take the time to help others in need. When others truly are taking time to give to me!
I am truly grateful for those wonderful people in my life, who teach me life lessons, and Today I learned a Lesson! Being Selfish is So not good for the soul!
Being a mom is hard work! But I know without a doubt that my heavenly father has given me my children because they need me, and I need them! I desire nothing more than to teach, nurture, love, and strengthen the testimony of my children, so that we can All make it back to our Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ! I want to Endure to the end, and that is what this earthly life is about.
I know that as long as we obey the lords commandments, and have faith, That we will!
Braden and I went on our first date on July 4th 2003. From there on I had to be the pursuer, and I knew that he was worth pursuing! We were married August 21st 2004! The milestones in our family have been: Getting sealed in the temple on November 23, 2005* Titan Braden Briggs being born on September 26, 2006* Bridget Briggs being born on November 13, 2008* and finally adding Bryken Trak Briggs being born on June 1, 2010.
It was so nice to see you at church today. Thanks for sharing your testimony. I could relate to this post. Sometimes we get into ruts that are so hard to get out of. You are such a good person. We need to get together.
ReplyDeleteHey Brit! I don't have your email OR your phone number OR your address....so I guess this is the best way to find you!! You are SO SO sweet to have thought of me and sent me that adorable little package. I was so excited to open it. First BLUE thing I've ever had in this house ;) Thank you so much! We're excited to have another..but I'm glad I have 5 more months to prepare. How are things with your cute kids? I haven't seen them in ages, but they are so cute in the pictures. Actually, I'm pretty sure I've only met Titan- and he was TINY! Well hopefully we'll get to see you next time there's a family get together. Take care and had a FABULOUS Christmas!
