out of order...

Now that Christmas has come on gone all too quickly, I am thinking of a new year and what it will bring.
I have been thinking a lot about a talk by President Uchtdorf.... I have absolutely loved this quote. I wanted to share and hope it will give you some motivation as you think on some goals for the new year.
"Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you."
Somtimes I think it isn't possible to be patient with Sarah or possible to run longer than 6 miles, or decorate pretty birthday cakes, or get up early to read everyday, etc.
This year I will do as President Uchtdorf has counseled and pray that those seemingly impossible things will become habit and a real part of me. Oh, I pray!
Here's to a wonderful new year!

What a nice quote! And something I really needed to hear. I have no advice about the being patient part as Alicey drives me nearly insane EVERY day but it is possible to run more than 6 miles because somehow I finished a marathon ONCE (and I'm not a very good runner). I don't know that I'll ever do it again but somehow I finished!! Your doing pretty good to even think about getting up early to read. I need to do better at that one myself. Now that Avy's FINALLY sleeping through the night maybe I'll give it a shot!!
