This life is for our perfecting process. In thinking about parenting, I feel so inadequate. I will never be good enough at being a parent in order to qualify to be a parent. And yet, there is no way to become good at being a parent without being one.

“If a man chases two rabbits, he won’t catch either one. ”
Do we use our time wisely? How much time do I spend looking up something on the Internet because I can instead of because it’s important. What about the dumb games that take up a little time here and there?

Talie complained to me the other day about some of the things they talk about in Young Women’s and how they do some things. She wishes it was sometimes a little less frilly.
One of the tender mercies of the Lord is that today while preparing for the sacrament, I had a quiet whispering telling me that that is why I was meant to be her mother. I am not skilled with the frilly things in life, and so I get it when she doesn’t see the purpose in focusing on them. My strengths lie elsewhere. She got me for a mother. Someone who can appreciate the beauty in things around her, and the talents of others, without getting wrapped up in applying a figurative glue gun to everything in order to give it the finishing touch.
