My Life Post #7

Well LIFE IS SO GOOD! I love it my wife is beautiful and I could not be happier with the things that are going on. As I have mention I did not want to come back to school, HOWEVER I did. My teachers have been so helpful with everything so that I could get back in and back on track to accomplishing my ending goal, which is GRADUATION!! I got a final notice yesterday via email letting me know that I would be graduating. I am really happy about that and cannot wait until it is over. However I will continue to pursue a greater education in grad school or something else I do not know.

In preparation for school this week I have A LOT of projects due, not to mention I have tests next week. What do I do. In preparation for this upcoming week I cannot but help to feel a little stressed out with the things that are going on. I have so much to DO!!!! It is interesting to note, that I only feel this way when I am by myself or at school. My lovely wife Meghan helps me all the other hours of the day and when I am with her, well I only think about her. Man I love it! See I am already getting distracted and not able to write. Stress...

SO WHAT?  I recently learned in biology that your body actually needs stress to function at a high capacity. Although it is not good for your body, it naturally gets rid of it while you sleep ( that is why sleep for 8 hours is so important.) Stress has kept me motivated to get all of the things done that I must do. I must not tell myself what I can and can't do... but just trust in myself that I will be able to get it done.

NOW WHAT? Well when I was in my own personal scripture study this last week, I came across something that I thought was interesting. Paul is preaching to the saints, and he is not telling them what they can and cannot do. He TELLS them exactly what to do, and how to be successful. Paul UNDERSTOOD that he could not waste his life telling the Lord that he could only do so much, but he told the Lord that he could accomplish anything that he told him to do because he believed and had FAITH. I then went on to think about faith, and came across a quote by the Prophet Joseph Smith concerning faith. " Faith is your willingness to ACT and DO the things that Christ wants for you." Faith is an action and I must DO. No matter what the STRESS of my life may be, God created my body to function in away that I can succeed, and he has given the best "ENERGY" source for me to latch on to, so that I can accomplish everything!

Below is a link to a blog that has given me strength and shown me how I can do better than I am doing.
