what matters most

i've constantly been having this phrase run through my mind lately.
WHAT MATTERS MOST?
and with the new year i've also been thinking of some things i want to work on and accomplish
i've never been too excited about new years resolutions
i always feel like i don't want to make a resolution
cuz what if i don't follow through with it
i started to make a list of everything i want to accomplish
and then decided that new years resolutions aren't really about what you want to accomplish
rather, what you want to become
so i decided i want to become someone who does things that MATTER MOST
a few things i really want to focus on this year are:

teaching gospel principles
serving others daily
enjoying moments with my boys


these things are what really matter most to me
i've started a scripture journal and am so excited to fill it up and learn more about the Gospel, my Savior and how to be a better mom
i know that if i'm spiritually prepared then when those "teaching moments" come
with my kids, i will be ready.

i want to start each day with a prayer asking how i can be a servant of the Lord
what would He want me to do this day?
who can i help?

there was a night when i was cooking dinner
and cooper got hurt
this sounds really bad, but normally i would just make sure he's okay
and then go on cooking dinner
i decided to just take a moment and hold him
i thought, this is WHAT MATTERS MOST

i have found that we can easily get caught up with wanting to do too many things
i want to focus on WHAT MATTERS MOST
i've learned that WHAT YOU DO daily is WHAT MATTERS MOST to you.
you ALWAYS get done WHAT MATTERS MOST to you. ALWAYS.

Ugh. It's so easy to get caught up and distracted by everything going on around us. Good reminder Linz. Thanks!
