In a pickle...

"We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families." ~E. Oaks

So, I loved this talk in Conference when it was given and it comes to mind often when I find myself so busy that I can't even think straight and life becomes so complicated. I find myself so bogged down with the little things that I can barely find fresh air to breathe. I feel like I'm floundering in an ocean and can barely keep my head above water.

However, I don't feel like I do anything that isn't good. I don't know what I could cut back or out, because I feel like I stay busy doing good things.

So, here's my dilemma. I'm a student right now--I need good grades to go to graduate school, so what is more important right now in my life? My studies and homework (which threaten to drown me in and of themselves) or the things I'm doing to fulfill my calling at church? For example, I spent all weekend doing things I needed to do for church, but here it is super early on Monday morning and I haven't done any of my homework for the week, which will probably take me all night. So, if I do it, then I won't sleep, which isn't healthy, but if I don't do it, I won't pass my class which isn't mentally healthy for me. *sigh*

Isn't life fun?

You really need to read my post from today. And possibly the talk it comes from. And also, when do you leave for the east?
