"But, behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
--1 Nephi 1:20, Book of Mormon

"I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us."
--Elder David A. Bednar, April 2005 LDS General Conference

January Jitters

Ah...January...the time of year when we make resolutions to really do stuff, or you know, make resolutions to FINALLY do stuff. Either way, I'm trying to not let those nervous jitters get to me (isn't that redundant?). You know the ones...where you want to do so many good things, use your time so well, that you freeze up thinking about all the good things you can do (or should do as I often find myself thinking) and the next thing you know, you didn't do anything. Long ago (many moons ago) I did discover/learn that the Amish are indeed correct...the hurrier you go, the behinder you get, so I need to remember what donned on me several years ago...I can't fix it all, do it all, clean it all, organize it all, in short, accomplish it all in one day, so STOP TRYING and do as President Monson says, "Find Joy in the Journey!"

I am grateful for having some Joy in my Journey this past week. It makes a difference when you read your scriptures.
