With His help go I

The Earl of Melancholy has visited me again today. I find myself contemplating Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ role in my life. As I wrangle with my thoughts of inadequacy, I question whether I am doing all that I can to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

I am not especially talented and pretty much a regular "Jane". This is alright with me as I do enjoy living my life of relative anonymity. I do worry though, about what I have contributed thus far in my earthly existence. I suppose this could be just me looking at the back of my own tapestry, as I am wont to do.

I am just so grateful that I have my Savior who loves me and lets me know that when I feel especially alone and lonely. He calms my troubled soul when I feel that my efforts in the building of His kingdom seem so insignificant.

I try very hard to see the eternal perspective in everything, and I try to be very present in my trials so that I learn from them the first time. I've had many more challenges than my tiny little mind could ever conjure up for myself, and I am humbled that He would allow me to have them and learn.

I am grateful that I have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I am thankful that I have a model to follow in the raising of my family, even though I haven't always been successful. It's the belief in Him that allows me to get up each morning and try again.

I hope your day is peaceful.
