Sometimes I speak too quickly. I want to apologize for my crazy rampage on those poor innocent bystanders at the park. That woman who posted the previous entry is not me. That wasn't me. That was a tired and frustrated woman.
Not that I need everyone to approve of who I am, but I was being unkind. Today was a test...just like every other day, but I feel it more keenly today. Today starts the rest of my life. How I react to any situation determines the story of how my life eventually pans out. I just read Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk, "Your Happily Ever After." After reading it, I feel that I should definitely amend the situation and make the future anew. Many times, I act irrational and don't realize how that reaction will affect my children and their future decisions. Like, how I used to get mad and pout when I lost a game of Uno, or any game, for that matter. I've had to practice not getting angry over a stupid game, but I've definitely come out the conqueror. And the way I got through it is by remembering that Jackson is watching every move I make and making mental notes to himself.
You may think that I actually said something to those people back at the park, but I didn't. I just stalked off. But it's the thought that damns me. And angels are recording them. So, by posting this and changing my heart, I'm hoping the angels will scratch that part out of the story of my life.

they will scratch it out. that's the power of the atonement.
but now when you see someone in peril, you'll ask what you can do. (and i hope i do, too.)
the Lord really is working in our individual lives!
thanks for sharing. :)
that is a bad bumb. I am sorry you had to go through that. I need to knock on wood because my kids haven't had any real bad booboo yet. You are a good mom and I have always looked up to you. No matter what you said you are the mom and you have to do what you have to do, that is what I always say. None of us are perfect especially me but at least we can work on it.
You are great.
