Tough Week

I don’t know how to pull out of this funk or why not participating as much in my spiritual goals seems to be my greatest struggle when I am down. Chad's dad was put into hospice care this week and given 6 months or less to live. I was a hard blow and threw me off in many ways. Unfortunately, I think the spiritual goals struggled the most. I believe in the power of prayer and know I have been given a lot of guidance because of faithful prayers. Yet, it seems to be what I struggle with the most. I need something to remind me to do it until it becomes a habit. Since I was getting up early most mornings, I didn’t listen to talks and convinced myself it was because it might wake up the kids. I know that is crazy. Not only would they probably not wake up, they would be hearing great messages from the Lord. I read from the Book of Mormon a few days, but not very many. I have been sucked into social media, and need to find my way out again so I can work on this goal.
This week, I think working on the same goals would be a good thing. In case you don't remember, I am going to pray and listen to a conference talk every morning and read in the Book of Mormon every day. I can do this. I have done it before. The only thing holding me back is myself.
