We have all heard it. That still small voice that whispers to your conscience, something that needs to be done. A place to look. Someone to help. An idea of something great. We hear it, sometimes we even do what we hear. Unfortunatly I am not a fast learner. I see but see not, I hear but hear not. I have to ask myself When? When are you going to learn. The voice is so quiet, and I am very easily distracted.
In a time when we are constantly under attack. The home and family are mocked at every turn and frankly sometimes I just want to enter my own little dream world where everything is perfect and I don't have to fight the battle anymore. Yet, new years are for new goals right. Well this is the year to change all years for me. This is the year that I will learn to listen. I will see, and hear, and do. I am through with not listening. My one and only goal this year will be to strive at my daily personal scripture study and prayer. An hour a day. That is not that much. I spend so much time doing other things of less value every day. My desire to do what my loving Heavenly Father wants of me must match my dilligence .. right. An hour a day. It isn't alot, I have done it before, I can do it again.
In this time when heeding the spirit could mean life or death, I am finally ready to take on the world. And If I do My part, there will never be another missed opportunity, or another time when I let myself be so distracted that I don't do what I am prompted to do. Now is the time to prepare to meet God.

you are so amazing! i love that this is your new goal. i have been thinking alot about you lately because i am reading the tjed books. i am preparing to start on my educational journey. that thing i find sad is that i could have stuck with it years ago and didnt. now i have to start all over reading the core phase books and working in to the love of learning. how are things going with your schools?
I know what you mean. I did the Same thing. Isn't it great that we are continually learning and growing. We did tjed at gwc, But I didn't understand it until I read A leadership Education. One thing is for sure though. Understanding the phases, has made homeschooling so much easier for me. Much less stress. I love the way the family just blends together. We aren't perfect, but Heavenly Fathers plan is, and it works.
That's a awesome goal.
