Sin keeps man from prayer, but prayer keeps man from sin.
I am loving my church calling again.
I have been in Primary for over 3 years now. I was the pianist for about 14 months, and then I have been the chorister for the last 2 years.
Last year, I was really struggling by the time the program was over. I just was really annoyed with the children and they were bugging me a lot. Even some of the teachers were starting to bug me.
I had talked to our Primary President about midway through the year and told her that I was getting burned out. I wanted to finish out the year, but after that I was done.
Well, I never heard anything in December about being released. I finally talked to the Primary President and she told me the Bishop had no intention of releasing me.
I’ll be honest with you. I went home and cried. I didn’t want to be in there anymore. I was a little bitter for a couple of weeks. And then I decided that I needed an attitude change. I wasn’t getting released, so I could either have a bad attitude and be miserable, or I could change my attitude.
I chose to change my attitude, and I am so glad that I did. I am having so much fun again! The children are responding really well and have learned the song so good. And have I mentioned how much I love the song we have been learning this month? :-)

I have put my kids and husband first in so many things. Dental work, clothes, haircuts, etc. I have put myself on the back burner so many times.
My mom taught me that we need to take care of ourselves too. She always took care of herself with her hair and makeup done. She always looked nice. When she went out shopping, even just to the grocery store, she would change her shirt to a nicer shirt.
So where did I fall astray? At this very moment, I need to color my hair, I need a haircut, and my clothes...well, I need some nice shirts...not just the cheap ones I buy when they are on clearance.
I need to take of myself. I started this by going to the dentist last week and taking care of 2 crowns that I have needed for over 1 1/2 years.
I need to take care of me. And if I have to use the credit card, so be it.
Because I am important too.

Remember when I blogged about our candy chains last year?
I know I took all the pictures down, but they weren't the important pictures. I finally remembered to take pictures this year.
Aren't they cute? I love it even better because this year, everyone got on board with doing patterns. And then I bought full size candy bars for the top. This is such a fun way for the kids to see how many days are left until Christmas.

Everyone wants to be told that they are pretty, or smart, or nice. Even more, we want to be told that we are good moms, and that we are doing a great job with our children, or with our lives.
I couldn't think of anything better for my 400th post than to tell you all that you are doing a great job, and that I love you all. Thank you for being a part of my life.
