TGFVT

That's "Thank Goodness for Visiting Teaching". I had an emotional breakdown yesterday afternoon. I think everything just keeps piling up and when you couple that with the fact that I'm a very cynical and morose person it really doesn't lend itself to a lot of positive emotions. So John and I have started thinking of ways to help make this better, one of which is sending the boys to Magrath for a week so that I have time to collect myself emotionally and to straighten some things out with myself. So they'll head down there in 2 weeks. I'm also considering quitting Mary Kay, but I want to pray about it a while longer before I do anything. Anyways, on to why I'm so grateful for Visiting Teaching. When we went and saw Alana last night and Maria gave the lesson, it didn't quite hit me. But when my VTs were over and I heard the lesson, I got it. I've been having such a hard time the last year or so saying my prayers and reading my scriptures on an even semi-regular basis. It's not like I don't think they're important or anything like that, I guess Satan's just working a really good number on me. So since this month's VT lesson was about sincere prayer, it really helped me to realize that I wouldn't be nearly as big of an emotional mess if I was saying sincere prayers and reading my scriptures every day. Anyways, here's a quote from the message:

President Thomas S. Monson: “As we offer unto the Lord our family and our personal prayers, let us do so with faith and trust in Him. Let us remember the injunction of the Apostle Paul to the Hebrews: ‘For he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.’ If any of us has been slow to hearken to the counsel to pray always, there is no finer hour to begin than now”
