Small Silly Feelings

I have been busy preparing for a family vacation. I noticed that many ticket prices are cheaper online and had made a couple ticket purchases last week and then felt uncomfortable buying the rest. I decided to check the websites for my final ticket purchases today. One place had updated their calendar and no longer was open on the day I was going to purchase tickets. Another place said to purchase tickets in person to get the sale price. Wow, I really thought I was being silly when I only bought half of my tickets last week. I followed my silly feeling on the whim that it didn't matter if I bought them now or later. At least I talked myself into following the feeling to wait.
I really think our Heavenly Father cares about us on every level, even when we buy tickets for a vacation.

Worn Out

After having pushed so hard to finish our home and get everyone settled in our normal routines, I realized how worn out I am. I know I have to be aware of the stresses of our lives and keep things simple but I still feel exhausted. I don't jump back into life and recover like I used to. I have been able to stay home and try to relax and it has been hard since my mind is busy but I just can't do what I'd like to do right now. My husband was exhausted but was able to recover and get back to his regular routine. It is hard to see life passing and hope that you aren't missing anything. One thing I learned from my postpartum was that sometimes we just have to wait. Here I am waiting again and it is okay, and honestly I am not missing anything. My adrenaline is there to push me through when I need it. I am able to support my husband and children in their activities but I am still figuring out how to do the things I want to do without exhausting myself. It is crazy how we figure out one aspect of our life and then we have to struggle to figure out another. I know how to wait but now I am figuring out how to balance the things I want to do and still take care of my family. It is a juggling act for me that doesn't end well when I am too tired. I feel the baby steps I am taking and I am glad. I know we are where we are supposed to be and I will just allow time to help me find the energy and balance I need to take care of myself. I feel comforted that I can just be tired right now.

Sold!

I was driving home on the freeway and had this intense feeling that we need to sell our car NOW! I was so anxious when I got home, that I got on ksl and craigslist and posted our vehicle that night and added pictures the next day (since I needed daylight). The next day a man called from our area and looked at it. It was very muddy on the inside and outside because of all the snow but that didn't stop him. He said he would buy it the next Monday, which was just a few days later and he did.
We had been looking at another vehicle with a diesel motor that could carry more people and we found one and purchased it all in the same week as our car selling. It is fascinating how quickly things can happen. Some answers are slow and this answer was fast! Sometimes I get confused and unsure if I am listening to the spirit correctly. Times like these say that I am doing it right and that helps me feel confident and grateful.
