Another Inspiring Day at Church

I missed the last 2 weeks of church. Today I finally went back and couldn't be more happier that I did. I think that the talks that were given today were absolutely wonderful.

During Sacrament the topic that was talked about was how to deal with people questioning and basically hating our church with a Christlike attitude. It's such a difficult thing to do, because I personally get very defensive and upset when people mock my religion, especially when they have NO CLUE what it's about. Half the people in this world don't even think that Mormons are Christian. It baffles me since Christ is what are religion is all about, and isn't being Christian believe that Christ is our savior?

I am horrible at being Christ like. Today opened my eyes in areas that I wish I could be better at and gave me some goals to work towards. I want to be a better example for all of my friends and family. I want to be that person that people look at and wonder.... hmmmm, how is she so happy? What is it that makes her life seem so complete. Maybe some people already think that, but sometimes I don't feel like that, and that's the point I want to be.

I've been slacking in a lot of areas. Personal scripture study, family prayer, family home evening. That's just to name a few. I feel like things have been so hectic that I've stepped off my path a little bit. It is a good feeling to know that I can get right back on it, and I have the power to do it all by myself. I feel like my life has been a little chaotic, and I need to get it back to where the chaos wasn't effecting us.
