Yikes!

"Are we diligent in living the commandments of God, without running beyond our strength? Or are we just leisurely strolling along? Are we using our time, talents, and means wisely? Are we focused on the things which matter most? Are we following the inspired counsel of the prophets?"

This is a question President Deiter F. Uchdorf asks in his remarks "Heeding the Voice of the Prophets." And it really got me thinking... or more grieving at feeling like I am in the "leisurely strolling along group." I thinks it's a style of procrastination of mine to tell myself that I don't need to get serious about x,y, or z YET. For example, FHE, and food storage. I tell myself that when we have more kids, then I get serious about heeding those commandments, which are clearly just for large familites. So, here's the deal: I'm going to get more serious about heeding (action word) ALL the prophets' voices. When we get to NC, my food storage plight begins (however meager), FHE is on, and so forth. I know that if I don't take the initiative and organize these habits now, they may too easily slip through the cracks and that's not something I want on my head.
BTW, the moving truck is sitting in our driveway, all ready to be loaded up. Nate is finished with work now, so thank goodness, he can help pack for the next couple days. The trailer is being picked up Fri morning, we close on our house @ 4 pm and are leaving for NC Sun. I'm excited, anxious about the car-ride with Hannah, tired, and thrilled. Ahh, moving. Any good advice on taking an 8 mo old on a 16-hour car trip?
