A change of HeArT <3......

I have been having some lovely talks with my madre lately…..the kind that make you reflect on where you are at and where you would like to be. my mom is such a good example to ME; She talked about how we put limits on ourselves…and on other. But I realize that even I do not know what I am capable of, so who am I to judge the capacity of others?? My mom talked about truly loving the savior with all your heart…..this at least for me requires a major change of <3 data-blogger-escaped-span="">……letting go of my Favorite sins….and forgiving others and myself….truly letting myself become the person I am capable of being and then letting myself….just….love ME…

Lately I have had some humbling experiences…..my ever so charming husband Kyler is always quick to listen and slow to judge….the other day I was “venting” to him and he just looked at me and said “Caiti,why are you always waiting to be Happy?” (that was an Epiphany for me) I guess like most people I get discouraged with the mediocrity of life and seem to focus on “when I will be Happy” like life is some big check list that is not meant to be enjoyed completely, thoroughly and every…..single day…..I do not want to be that person I want to be in love with life! Every day is so beautiful and precious…who can afford to have a bad day? or at least let it last ;)

I was talking to kori about this, right before her husband came home from war……kori is seriously like pioneer stock she is one of those super faithfull women who loves the lord and really is a good example to her growing children…and to me of how we should and can be despite our adversity. I really admire mothers like her (and honestly all of my sisters) who really raise the bar…so the that the rest of the world has to stand up a little straighter to meet their standards….which are the same as the...lords standards for us….he is so in love and aware of us….he knows what will make us…..truly unbelievably happy….we just have to let him…
I was looking through kori old blogs to find this blog to REPOST….I remember when she wrote it…..it is so inspiring… Life is way is way too SWEET not to just love....who are we not to recognize the lords hand in All things?

Reflections of Christ
This song and video has opened up my eyes. When did I become so off track? Every day we read our scriptures and have morning and night prayers but when did Christ quit being the center piece of my life? I think I am constantly just checking things off on my mental list that I forget that if I truly want to have Christ as my center piece that I need to do better. Tonight as I was listening to the song it hit me really hard just how far off track I really am and then a thought popped in my head and I immediately obeyed. I unhooked our satellite receiver box and replaced it with books about my Savior. I am sure there will be tears tomorrow about not having t.v. in our home but they will be replaced with having the spirit here instead. ( I tried and tried to put the you tube Reflections of Christ on here but could not figure it out. It is definitely worth checking out!)
