Which door at which time?

sometimes i struggle to find my passion.
but more frequently i struggle to narrow down my passion.

because - you see- you can only open one door at a time.

monday i fall back in love with Singing.
tuesday i rediscover cooking.
wednesday i delve into the possibilities of owning a high end salon/spa.
thursday i realize my life is incomplete until i write a book.
friday i recognize my deep desire to love one another as they love you.
saturday finds me in on the water relaxing in my inner artist.
sunday unearths the calling to teach, father, dad, and create.
and then i remember everything else:
travel, discovery, invention, exploration.

except the list is much longer than days in a week.
longer even than days in a month, a year, a lifetime.
it's a growing register of ambition that's paralyzing with its enormity.

where does one begin? where do i even start?
Isn't it great that we have so many options and wonderful things in this life!!!

I have no idea which will unfold as my life's pursuit.
maybe none,
maybe all.
I think I may just take it one day at a time.
I am reminded of the scripture....
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7–8).
I love this.
As I think of my own father, 'dad', I believe he wants me to enjoy my best intrest. I can't think of a time where he hadn't ever taught, shown me, or lead me to find anything but that. I know its the same with my Heavenly Father.
I like to think that because I have tried to maintain a close relationship with him- he has yet to guide me down a wrong path, nor has left me to decide something important on my own. I think that's just what a father would do. I am so fortunate to know that I can not only enjoy things and learn and grow on this earth- yet I get to travel, discover, invent, and explore with the lord right by my side and with his spirit to guide me EVERY SINGLE DAY.

HE HAS RISEN

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worship him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

When you have promptings, act on them

I feel the spirit so strong today. I am overwhelmed at the peace and solitude that comes from striving to live a perfect plan of salvation. I am indebted to my loving Heavenly Father who listens to and answers my prayers, who sincerely cares for my every need and righteous desire. I recognize his hand daily in my life.
Our savior Jesus Christ lives! I love that he refines me into my best self. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of repentance. Great ful for the opportunity I have to become like him, so pure and so perfect--He can heal us in all things, big or small.. At times, I struggle to rely on him and trust him completely. But I am quickly reminded of his noble ability to increase my capacity to learn, also to improve personally and spiritually through study and prayer and simply by doing whats right. I pray for the continued love and support I feel EVERY day as I preparing for what is to come while on this earth and through out eternity. We live in a today-tomorrow world and I want to pattern my life in terms of forever. Just as he views you and I. I think it will take a long time to get there but it sure will be worth it.
