Change

I love this picture for so many reasons. Sometimes I feel like this girl, sitting on her Savior's lap. 

You can tell something is really troubling her, as she can barely look Him in the eye. 

This past week I've lost touch with my Heavenly Father. I let our relationship get weak, which in turn makes me weak, and more susceptible to sin...to repeat sins I feel like I've overcome. 

It's so frustrating. It makes me feel like junk!

And I feel like this lady..who has come to her Savior because she knows that He loves her. She knows He can heal her. She knows He can help her change. 

I have a lot of things I need to improve in my life. 

A lot of things I need to get rid of, work harder at, and focus more on. 

Like this lady though, I know that no matter what I do, I can always sit on His lap and work it out with Him. 

"Our responsibility is to rise from mediocrity to competence, from failure to achievement. Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final." 

And for that I am so grateful!
