One of my favourite quotes that I have ever come across in my life is, "Have you prayed about it, as much as you have talked about it?" The reason that this is one of my favourite sayings is because of the simple reminder it always gives me to turn to Heavenly Father in times of trial. For most of my pregnancy I have been quite stable in my emotions... yes I have cried a lot more than I normally would without my hormones being crazy but that is a normal M thing. Any hormonal peak and the water starts flowin'! But hitting my third trimester has been different my moods are starting to get a little crazy... some days I wake up just crabby at the world and I don't even know why. Yesterday was seriously like that, so I put myself to work of cleaning the house and turned up the music but I still couldn't shake the feeling. The hours turned to minutes as I knew J's time of arrival was drawing near and I didn't want to be crabby with him so I turned to prayer. Usually my go to is to call my mom but the simple quote I love so much popped into my mind "have you prayed about it, as much as you have talked about it?"
I had spent the whole day grumbling and complaining about all the hard trials I had in my life and instead of trying to find the blessings in them I was on a whirlwind complaining session about everything and anything you could imagine and so I sank to my knees desperately trying to return to some form of normal before mr hubbins walked in the door.
The answer was such a simple one from my prayer that sincerely hit home and I realized that sometimes in my moments of "all about me" is the best time to turn to the Lord to become teachable and humble. As I finished my prayer and read my scriptures a calm swept over me and I felt better. And then I found this video that really taught me the type of attitude I need to have...
What a beautiful example and light of the Saviour she is to the world.
I hope one day I can be more like Him and a little less like me.
