Just thinking about this crazy world we live in. With all the shananogens going on these days, it is refreshing to know there are some really good people out there just trying to do the right thing. There are our neighbors who unscrew our light bulb in the mornings when we are on vacation, and tell us when we leave the light on in our car, there are the sweet people that hold the door open for me as I desperately try to get my monster double stroller through it, and then there's the story from Lisa's blog about the sweet couple that gave her flowers after their baby had passed away- man it just touches me to the core! I have always been inspired by Christian music- I spent my high school days going to Christian concerts such as Switchfoot in San Diego. Truth will always carry the spirit with it, and I could often feel the spirit as I listened to their songs. I have now found a new inspiring singer Brooke Fraser- her lyrics really are amazing. I am in love with this video because it helps me to realize there are people all around me seeking truth, and striving to be better, and sometimes I feel really bad that I'm not reaching out of my comfort zone more. You know how it is... the mormon mom syndrome... where it's easy to stay inside the box because it's safe and happy? Is it just me?? Well heck I may just need to step out of the box a little more! I am so blessed to have truth in my life and sometimes I want to shout it out to everyone, but then reality kicks in and I keep it all to myself. Why is that?

amen! I have been thinking the SAME exact thing lately. It's so easy to rationalize, but then when I see or hear other people in my same situation getting out and serving and being selfless, I know that I can be a better disciple. Thanks for the reminder. I love the video and the song. Thanks for sharing.
Speaking up is hard. But when you are a young mom with young kids just getting out amoung non-members is hard. I know that there is a mom's group in our neighborhood and I am planning on joining it this year. There are so many great people in our area who are moms too. We are lucky. Thanks for the nudge!
