Update update!!! Finally after who knows how many months. I am so happy I have the time to write a little in my blog, dont want to miss the chance to do it anymore. So whats going on lately?
I have a new job, a new challenge! It is fun, but at the same time it is taking over my free time, I barely have any free time now, and when I do all I want to do is sleep! But after a month I am finally getting used to it. I work for a talented jewelry designer, Alessa Designs. I am a fan, she has really beautiful designs. I work there as an administrative assistant. I am grateful for this opportunity, since I want to learn all I can and start practicing what I am learning at school. Also, I think is good to change environment from working with family, and plus, there are always things to learn everywhere. I am working full time, that has been really hard, since I cant spend the same amount of time that I used to before with him. Now I come home at 5 pm, and he goes to bed at 8. I know is a big sacrifice, but my family is helping me a lot and the time we spend together we do a lot of things.
For example today, David is learning the letters of the alphabet. There is a book I bought him so he can practice writing and identifying words.
We started with the letter A.
- First he wrote on his book the letter A several times
- And then did the activity.
- He went to his room looking for an object that starts with the letter A and brought me this, an angel.
- Then we played with shaving cream. I found the top of a plastic box and we used it as a canvas.
- Spread the shaving cream all over the top
- Ready to draw and write, and easy to erase, and start writing again.
And thats the end of the activity. I was supposed to print the first picture of him holding an angel and paste it on an alphabet journal, but first need to buy the journal. Tomorrow I will, so we dont fall behind.
Well I have to say, it feels nice being back to normal, being able to find a balance between, work and the rest of the things I used to do. The only thing I am not doing is going to the Gym, I feel like I dont have the energy to do it. But tomorrow I start. One thing I recently learned, is that only with Gods help we can do things that feel imposible sometimes. I was so frustrated because some months ago, I was working half time, but after I would pick up David from school, drive him to his Karate class, swimming class or soccer practice, then play with him, and still had the energy to go to the gym everyday at 5 am. And the reason why I could do it, is because I was disciplined. I would have my scripture study at night and never missed my personal prayers. And that is what was missing from my life, and ever since I started doing it again things are going back to normal.
Reading Helaman 4 made me realice this. When we repent and keep the commandments, God is with us, and have extra strength, and when we dont it happens the same thing that happened to the Nephites;
13.
And because of this their great wickedness, and their boastings in their own strength, they were left in their own strength; therefore they did not prosper, but were afflicted and smitten, and driven before the Lamanites, until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.
I was not doing bad things, but I payed more attention to other things like work, personal things and forgot about reading my scriptures and praying. I have always known how important it is to do it, but there are times when we dont have our priorities straight.
Now that I do, I feel with more energy and can feel the love my Heavenly Father has for me, how much he is willing to help me.
15 And it came to pass that they did repent, and inasmuch as they did repent they did begin to prosper.
I will never forget about this, whatever belief you might have, always remember to put God first and the rest shall come.
Have a great week everyone!
