I just could not get up this morning. It was one of those days when I needed a whole day to myself. Because we do not have a council representative for the Raiwaqa building, we needed to get the new handouts there. Scott graciously said that he would take them so I would have longer, quieter morning. Even then, I was not ready on time for church.
I have learned many things about myself on this mission. One thing I have learned is that I work so hard all week that I am often so tired on Sunday that church seems too hard. Because it is a day of rest, the little devil on my left shoulder tells me that I should stay home and rest. I do not, but some Sundays it is a real struggle.
I think this started when I went to work. I worked hard five days of the week in my job and being a mother at home. Saturdays were catch up days for getting done what did not get done during the week. They were always emotional, busy, and hard days which left no day to prepare for Sunday.
I have decided that when we get home I am going to make Saturday a day of Sabbath preparation both physically and mentally. I am going to labor really hard for five days and spend Saturday doing what I need to do to be prepared for spiritual learning and spiritual service. I want to be excited to go to church every Sunday Morning.
