"Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly...."

This is totally me and blogging except it way more frequent that fortnightly. I started "quickly" browsing a "couple" of blogs two and a half hours ago! So what I WAS going to say before I made a total hypocrite of myself is that I'm trying to be better about wasting hours at a time on the computer. I had a super productive day yesterday (by my standards anyway) and it felt really good. I had such a lazy week and I always feel like a total slug when that happens. So Friday night I made an extra effort to pray that I'd be productive the next day. I don't know why I don't do that more often. I am a lazy person and I mean LAZY. So I really need the motivation from a higher power and it truly is a miracle! I've found that if I do it right when the inspiration comes to do it, I will get it done and it will seem like it took no time at all and I ALWAYS feel so good about myself when I finish. Heavenly Father knows that I am happy when my house is clean and when I ask Him for help he is always there.

I got up and bore my testimony today. I always get so tongue tied but what I meant to say is that I know Heavenly Father knows me and the things I need. I'm learning to not hesitate about praying for the things I have a hard time with even if it's as simple as cleaning my house. If it's something that matters to me it matters to my father in Heaven because he loves and cares for me. For this I am truly grateful!

This is an excellent point. What I learned at my women's conference this weekend is that we can and should pray to feel our Heavenly Father's love becuase when we do, we will feel better about ourselves and will have an easier time doing the things that are important. All we have to do is ask... He will be there for us.

Hey baby. I was thinking this morning about how you tell me that if I just do something when I think about it instead of putting off until later, things would be much easier. Thanks for the reminder.

I love you.

I'm sad I missed your testimony. Sometimes it seems too easy to pray about something. I have to drive myself crazy trying to solve everything myself.

That is a very good reminder. It is easy to pray a lot when things aren't going well, but unfortunately for me I find it is harder to pray as much when "I" think things are going well... I wish I wasn't so stubborn and slow.

I know what you're saying. I feel the same way when I get up infront of people. Prayer is an amazing thing, and I am learning the same lessons - I pray for modivation or even to make good eating choices! (Which I have often needed help with!) But it works! :) I loved your testimony!
