It is really hard for me to write when I wait until right before bed and I am so tired. I know I've had thoughts during the day about what to write about, but they seem all fogged in now. Most of my say go be dos are about little things like changing the laundry. "Go change the laundry." "I'll do it after I finish working out. It can wait til I go upstairs." "Go change the laundry." "Okay." I open the dryer and see that I forgot to turn it on when I switched the clothes from the washer. I turned it on and stayed on schedule for my day. Another example from today: "Take a video over to L***'s kids when you go to your meeting today." "I don't know what they watch. What if I take something her kids don't want to see? What if I take something she doesn't think a Relief Society president should allow her children to see?" "Take a video with you." I pick a fun g-rated movie and when I get to her house, find out she has a sick child home from school, bored to death. Neither of these examples were a big deal. If I hadn't followed through nothing bad would have happened. Following through didn't change the world in any way. I was having thoughts like this and wondering if I'm really hearing Say Go BE Do or just my own thoughts of how to organize my time and then a real thought came to me that Heavenly Father is helping me practice. I need to start with these very small, somewhat inconsequential things to show that I can be trusted with larger things. How amazing would the world be if all of us were doing every single Say Go Be Do everytime they came to us? Hard to imagine except that I know MY life is better when I follow through with my Say Go Be Dos. Janette
