Today, I cried for no reason. Well, being a pregnant is a good reason to cry for no reason. Then, I somehow pulled myself back up without my husband's help and stayed for the entire church time. Blessing was though that I found a new favorite hymn, which is "Because I have been given much." Yes, this became a theme song for my pregnancy although my pregnancy is about to end. It reminds me to look up and find someone who is in need of my help. It's not a big deal when my mom sees me in skype and calls me fat. (She does not mean to hurt me. That is how Asian people address their health concern about others.) This hymn gives me courage and patience to try to unclog the toilet, not to complain about different pains go through my body every 15 minutes, and be calm when the kids at work call me in F words or start kicking walls/people because I cannot play with them then.
Another good reminder was "stop worrying about things, but do what's good" spoken by Elder Bednar at the MTC last year. My VT companion who works at the MTC shared this. There are times when we don't know if a thought was from the Spirit or just what you think. Elder Bednar said stop worrying about it, but act. His points are 1. be a good boy, 2. be a good girl, 3. honor your covenant, and 4. keep the commandments. Then, we will notice if it was an inspiration from the Spirit or not when we look back in the future.
With that note, I would like to be a little more "good girl" for my lovely husband and a little baby to come.
(A pic was from my husband's birthday. He requested all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant.)
And, we cannot forget to have a birthday cake for him!!
