      Sometimes I get to bed and wonder how I'm ever going get up again. Sometimes I wake in the morning and wonder how I'm ever going to get up again. Then I remember, I have a life FULL of happiness. I LOVE everything that I get to do! How did I get SO lucky that even after my car gets towed during Taco Tuesday I'm still ending the day happy and feeling fulfilled?!  

      D&C 58:27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness...

      We've been given 24 hour every single day of our lives, and it's up to us to fill it with gratifying goodness. We can sit and watch TV or we can go out and visit a friend that feels lonely. We can play video games or we can enjoy a hike through the beautiful mountains that surround us. We can take some time to relax by sitting on our bed or we can take some time to relax by sitting with a long lost friend while drinking hot chocolate. 

      I'm working hard on learning to use my time effectively. There are so many things we want or need to do, ALL are priorities; we just can't figure out how to fit them all in. For me the key is remembering to be selfless, put needs before wants, don't miss a beat, and listen closely to the guidance of Heavenly Father. It's amazing how wonderful it feels to lay down and report to Heavenly Father, "Yes, I have done good in the world today. Yes, I helped someone in need. I tried to cheer up the sad, I saw them become glad. I think you'd be proud of my day." I feel like that motivates Him to give me more days and more cool opportunities! He knows I'll be open to taking advantage of them.  

     I don't have time to idle away looking at pornography or obsessing over celebrity news. I don't have time to be a lazy couch potato or just "dream of my mansion above". But I ALWAYS have time (or can find time) for family, friends, service, or important responsibilities. There really IS enough time, we've just got to organize it! 

       When we're doing His will we can be confident that He will energize us, Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Maybe that doesn't mean we'll get to sleep in the next day but it does mean we will be able to complete all the tasks at hand. What a great promise!!! I could never do it with out Him :) 

   My hope is we can all use our time more effectively so that the unimportant things lose space in our lives and that we can become more focused on doing good, doing His will. It's how we can live a life without a single bad day! (Maybe rough moments, or difficult tasks, but a fully bad day just won't exist!)

      Anyways...you're a priority in my life, I definitely have time for you. So, just let me know ;) 

I love you!!! Have a great, fulfilling day!
