Sixty days until I leave! I have waited three months so far and have got just two more left. Among the shopping, scheduling appointments, and figuring out tasks that I have never even really thought about, I am grateful more and more each day that I had five months before I leave from the time I got my mission call.
It's a beautiful day in the High Desert and what makes it more beautiful is the fact that it's Saturday. My weekends are precious since I only have a few left. I spent my morning doing Zumba, went shopping, and spent time with my siblings. I enjoyed the sunlight and slight breeze as I washed my car. It's just the beginning of the evening portion of the day and I look forward to finish preparing my Sunday School lesson and maybe even Zumba again... we'll see.
Something that I have been thinking about lately is the topic of preparation; whether it's preparing for the day ahead, preparing for a mission, preparing for a future, or most importantly preparing for when our Savior comes again. No matter what, procrastination never pays and I really learned that while I was in school.
Doctrine and Covenants 88:83 states, "He that seeketh me early shall find me, and not be forsaken." I like this scripture because it's short and bold enough to let us know what we need to do. We should constantly be seeking for rightousness. Seeking for our relationship with The Lord. Seeking for our salvation. If we slip of the path, then we must get back on quickly and not look back. These are just some thoughts... Sometimes, it seems like we have all the time in the world but we actually don't. Going back to school, I always felt that the end of the semester was so far away but before I knew it, I had projects and finals coming my way, and I was kicking myself because I knew I could have been better prepared. :) Procrastination stops today, not tomorrow. ;)
Love, Lindsey
