My main goal this year with studying the book of Doctrine and Covenants is to learn how to be guided by the Spirit on a regular basis in my life. This weekend I realized one way that the Spirit speaks to me. Just a thought. Yep that's it, just a thought. Sunday morning a thought popped into my head. It was something that would be nice if I did, but wouldn't be noticeable at all if I didn't. I thought, yeah maybe I should do that. And then before I knew it I was getting the kids dressed for church, packing snacks, getting myself ready for church and the opportunity to do what I had thought of had passed. I recognize now that that is how the Spirit speaks to me, but once again I had allowed distractions, excuses, and busyness to take the place of following the Spirit.
I remember that in one of the recent conference addresses President Monson had taught us that when a prompting comes don't wait, act immediately. These promptings are fleeting moments and if we don't act immediately more frequently, we have lost the opportunity. Unfortunately sometimes I learn things the hard way.
