I just got this great quote in my email inbox and thought I would share it.
I think sometimes life can seem really overwhelming with all that we are trying to do to return to live with our Heavenly Father again someday. We're constantly striving to live our lives in accordance with the Gospel, and so often, we feel that we are constantly 'falling short' of our goals and all of the things that we feel we should be doing. I think this quote is a great reminder that the little things are most important. If we start with the little things.........they will help us to get through the bigger things in life and to reach our goals easier and slightly less overwhelmingly. Baby steps............All we can do is our best!
"We must remember that much spiritual growth does not occur suddenly but rather through time and experience. The encouraging message of the gospel is that God does not often require us to perform sensational or extraordinary deeds but rather to try to do better today than we did yesterday. He is mindful of our desires, our determination, and our direction as well as of our deeds."

Hey Darla! I've been meaning to respond to your comment on my blog. We are moving to South Jordan just down from the temple we are along Bangerter and we're so excited! I hope things are going well i'm sad I missed you at Heathers shower she said you were coming but I had to leave.
Lori!
I'm sorry I missed you, too! I was hoping I would get to see you, but I had to get to the shower late. :( You guys aren't moving very far from us at all! Awesome! Matt and I have been looking at houses right over in that area, too. Maybe someday in the future we'll be neighbors! :)
