As I reflect upon the fact that I have not written in a long time, I cannot help being discouraged and disappointed in myself and my lack of perseverance.
Then, as I analyze why I have not done much with my blogs these past few years, I realize that I started teaching full time. And when I say full time, I mean 12 to 14 hours a day. I sped about 10 hours at school and the remainder of the time at home, planning, grading, researching the best possible activities for my students and doing paperwork. The remaining hours are spent in a zombie like state: mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausted!
Even after this realization, I still feel like I fall short and that, somehow, I am not giving it my best shot.
I am forever grateful for the words of one of our Apostles:
"Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” —Jeffrey R. Holland"
I hope his words will also touch you and help you feel better about your accomplishments, no matter the stage you are in.
May be we have not accomplished what we had planned to do, but we have done something else in its place and that, most likely, was in His plan.
