headed home.
some days i feel so different from that person... it seems impossible to keep up that level of spiritual understanding, to have such a strong and personal relationship with Heavenly Father when you get back to regular life. and that makes sense, because i was always doing His work, my will was so completely and totally aligned with His.
but the thing is i'm still about the Lord's business... e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. it just looks different. it used to look something like this...
parke phillips' baptism
and now it's more like this...
i can honestly say that the joy i feel when teaching my children eternal, true principles is the greatest feeling! and seeing them live those principles, and show love to one another, and teach one another about Christ... that's what life is about. true, pure happiness.
so i'm grateful to have been called to serve on another mission, the mission of motherhood. a mission that never ends because we're all headed home together.
