Just Breathe

My life sometimes seems to be pulling me in about a million and one different directions. I feel like I need to be doing more with and for my children, like I need to be keeping things cleaner around my house, like I need to be doing more in my church callings, and doing more with my business to help us out financially. The list could go on and on and on, but I'll spare you. But what it comes down to for me on most days I've realized is all that I absolutely have to do is just to breathe, and to be present in the moment that I'm in right now. I'm learning that God does not want me to do everything, and that when I take time to put him at the top of my priority list that the rest somehow falls into place. Not perfectly like it seems like other peoples lives look at times, but it's enough. So my goal for the rest of this year is to realize that what I have is enough, and that perfection is an eternal goal, not one we have to achieve here and now. As long as I'm heading upward and onward that is what matters.
