Dare to Change

I have been horrible about my weekly blog so I decided to take some time and just do it!  I have made it my life goal to always better myself. I believe we should always strive to be better so I find faults I have and ways to fix them. I know I will never be perfect, but I can try. =) I can't take credit for our most recent changes, but I got the idea from Al Carraway( Fox). Her blog is http://waysofthecarraways.blogspot.com/2013/10/intro-to-us.html
  They have some really great ideas and when I read this post it really got me thinking. I try to make changes in my life, but there are some things I feel I really struggle with. Even more so some of the things they touched on were things that I didn't focus on before. Many of the reasons I think my first marriage did not work out. I am a technology addict. I just like reading news and whatever I can find to do. I found myself on the computer more than I focused on my marriage. I was always texting and facebooking that I never focused on the important things. So I wanted to get this thing right in my marriage now. So when I read this blog I thought that Clint and I could use a list of rules. So here is what we came up with together for a Family Home Evening activity. Some of these things have been very difficult to keep, but we have this list hanging in our home. We find ourselves talking more and discussing all sort of things. We have been more active and it has been amazing to discuss the gospel together on a daily basis. I never thought I would marry a return missionary, but it has been amazing for me because I am new to the gospel. My husband amazes me when I give him a topic I want to discuss and he can throw out scriptures that will fit that. Studying scriptures together has made me love him even more than I already did. This plan might not work for all, but you can't make your life better if you don't make changes. So dare to make a change even if it is just one!
