Connect w/ Heaven - 

Today I spent time in the scriptures and reminded myself that just as Nephi, I am highly favored of the Lord.  My patriarchal blessing reminds me that high expectations were made of me in the pre-earth life and that I have important things to do here on this earth just as Nephi & others had made big commitments.  I'm done listening to the lies of Satan that maybe I have not been forgiven for past mistakes and I am choosing to believe in the promises of the Savior that as I repent of my sins, and say I'm sorry they truly are washed away and it is as though they never happened.  The power of our minds is truly incredible and I'm committed to retraining my brain to a higher level of thinking.  I am coming to understand more fully that it is through my thoughts & actions that I will have the power to cast Satan out.  As I choose to focus on the goodness of the Savior Jesus Christ and truly accept his gift for what it is, Satan will have less and less power over me.  Even as I type this, it's amazing how much Satan tries to get inside my head and tell me otherwise.  I am incredibly grateful for this journey I find myself on to better understand and use the atonement of Jesus Christ.  

I am also reminded that Nephi too had much affliction in his days on this earth.  It is just part of the process of this life.  The last few days have been pretty discouraging in my world and I have felt like Satan is winning.  I've been frustrated with myself feeling like I should be farther along than I am in this journey and frustrated that I'm not better at casting Satan out.  I'm not sure why the process of learning line upon line, precept on precept has been so challenging for me but as I have received further light along the way I just want more and more and more light and find it difficult when I feel darkness instead of light.  I'm also learning though that to recognize the light we must understand the dark.  Each time I find myself feeling surrounded by darkness I guess it gives me additional commitment to find a way back into the light because I know the light feels so much better than the dark.  I'm learning patience with myself in this journey and patience with the Lord.  I'm ever grateful to find myself on this path of learning my true worth!

Set Today's Intention - 

I am so happy and grateful that I stopped making excuses for WHY I couldn't get started on my 6 week program and just dove in.  I'm grateful for my bold steps of massive imperfect action that are propelling my dreams into being.  I am happy and grateful for the opportunity to cast Satan out of my life by moving forward with my divine purpose, taking bold action to move forward with my dreams.  I am happy and grateful as well for my recommitment to my health.  I know that having a healthy mind and body will make all the difference as I plug forward with my dreams!

I am the woman who casts Satan out of my mind by interrupting the paradigm, reminding myself who I truly AM and what it is that I was born to do over and over and over again.

I am the woman who is committed to meeting the high expectations set for me in the pre-existence.

I am...  Committed, Determined to Succeed, Worthy of Love, Enough just as I am, Forgiven

Gratitude - 

I am grateful for the gift of my body that is capable of learning new patterns and new habits.  I am grateful for my commitment to new habits and new patterns and I am grateful to see my body as the temple that it truly is.  I am grateful for the home it is for my soul and my spirit and I am grateful for the journey I am on to renewed health.

I am grateful for the grand abundance ever present in my world.  The abundance is ever present and all encompassing.  I recognize the Lord's hand in all the world around me and today I am especially grateful for Mike.  He is my perfect match!  God certainly delivered an incredible gift when he led me to Mike.  Tomorrow we will celebrate 6 years of marriage and I am ever grateful for the man that he is.  He honors his priesthood, he serves the ward humbly and gracefully, he has unconditional love for me and for our sweet Oaklee.  He is truly a gift of abundance in my life and I am ever grateful for his grace in my world.  He stands at the head of our household righteously and I am ever grateful to my Father in Heaven for allowing me to be married to such an incredible man.

I am grateful for new opportunities in my career path.  Grateful to serve where I am currently and grateful for the growth that will come as I take action to share my talents NOW.  I am grateful that my Father in Heaven trusts me to help him gather souls in these the last days.  I am grateful for the opportunity to grow into the next best version of me through this process.

I am also grateful for my time and money freedom!  I am leaning in to promises that as we pay tithes and offerings our means will be stretched miraculously and we will never be in want.  I am grateful to be in control of my calendar and so looking forward to a week in Banff, Canada with Oaklee and Mike.  Can't wait to explore another area of this beautiful earth.
