Not well

 I listened to the scriptures and prayed for probably 5 days this week but I didn't do anything to prepare for Conference this weekend. I still enjoyed it though. 

This week I will make sure I read or listen to my scriptures every day - at least one chapter. I will also pray daily, and make sure at least one sentence is heartfelt. How pathetic is that?

Also, I felt very convicted after President Nelson's call to repentance for anger and contention. I don't outwardly express contention but for a while now, I have felt it in my heart and felt justified to vent said frustrations to friends and my husband. I need to root out that contention from my heart. 

Another speaker, I can't remember who talked about not badmouthing church leaders to our wayward children as a way to get them to feel we are trying to support them. I have been very guilty of that in the past. Not just with my kids, but with friends who have left the church as well. I don't outright say anything about leaders but will complain about the culture etc. when they do. I HATE this about myself. I become someone I don't like to make people feel better. I really need to change that about myself. I'm going to make those things the focus of my prayers for a while and specifically a focus of my repentance.
