Pressing Forward

This is what I just posted on my Christ Daily Facebook page.

I didn't write anything yesterday. It felt like a long day. I'm going to say that yesterday's challenge was to just keep on keeping on. I was pleased that I kept a commit to the girls when all I really wanted to do was go take a nap. As I was thinking about the fact that I hadn't done my Christ Daily item yet last night - I realized that Christ is a great example of moving forward even though you might not want to...sticking with a task even though it's hard...following through on a commitment. These are all things we know and love about the character of Jesus Christ. He kept going...He still keeps going. The two examples that pop into my head first are obviously His atonement...and then I'm always amazed that right after that He went to the Spirit world (taught/organized) and then went and visited the Americas. Talk about a busy 'week-end' after the worst week of your life - only to 'hit the ground running' on your next undertaking. No biggie...just getting the job done. I need to be more like that. #ChristDaily2016

The afternoon came yesterday and I had already committed that I would take the girls to an event at the library. I knew it would be time to get dinner going and then move forward with Family Home Evening once we got home. I was already tired. I had laid down for a few minutes before we left. My eyes just needed to close for a bit. I woke up just at the right time to get us there. (Well, it would have been perfect if the girls were ready like I thought they were. It all worked out fine.) I was glad I took the girls over. They had talked about circuits and had done some hands on learning. Everything was just fine in the end. I was glad I followed through on a commitment for them...and for myself. It felt like I had accomplished a hard thing.
