Mulling

There are two things I've been mulling over in my mind:

1) Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want. (I don't know the source for this, besides Pinterest.)

and

2) I read this from a talk by Linda K. Burton: My good friend Bonnie Oscarson recently turned a scripture inside out when she said, “Where much is required, much more will be given.”

I can't stop thinking about either thing.  I'm a world class worrier.  I wish prizes were awarded for worrying.  I'd have to get a trophy case.


One of the things I worry about is that I can't live up to what I'm asked to do.  I think that's why the second quote is resonating with me so strongly.  I need to have faith.  Faith, faith and more faith.

And stop worrying.

The end.


Well, almost the end.  Olivia said I should put this on my blog.  When she's bossy, I'm compliant.  Braeden has a very teeny part in a Mormon Message that was filmed around here.  He was recommended by his seminary teacher and then went through a series of interviews and we weren't sure he'd even make the cut.  Then his friend texted that he had seen the Mormon Message at church (incidentally the linebacker who is good at moving bookcases).  Then Emma's friend saw it in seminary.

Then we Googled it and found it.

So that's the story, and here's the link.

I'm so glad this is on your blog. I love it. Braeden's response is perfect. I've been mulling it over in my head.
