All of Us

I made this goal to read the Book of Mormon between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  And I didn't do it.  But I tried really hard, at first.  And I got more than halfway through, which for me is pretty darn good, so I'm not going to be too hard on myself.  But I'm making a new goal for myself to have it done by my birthday at the end of February, and I just read the most beautiful verse that I think should be my theme for the whole year;

Alma 33:23 ...May God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of His Son.  And even all this can ye do if ye will.

Not that my life is especially burdensome - I've got it pretty lucky, but I get so easily overwhelmed sometimes and instead of just thinking about today I think about everything I have to do in like the next ten years!  And that feels kinda burdensome.  So I'm going to try really hard to just think about today, and remember that even when I do feel overworked and stressed that He really can make my burdens seem light if I will allow Him to.  I know it because He's done it before.
