So I was reading scriptures this morning and had some interesting thoughts come strolling through.  In Mosiah, when King Benjamin is giving his address to the people he says, “They shall stand as a bright testimony against this people, at the judgement day; whereof they shall be judged, every man according to his works, whether they be good, or whether they be evil.”  This got me thinking about my daily workings.  What kind of testifying will my works be doing for me?  Am I going to want to own them or try and slide my actions behind me, embarrassed by the choices I have made?  I don’t mean horrible choices, but sometimes when the great and the good choice stand side by side, I take the good over the great.

This led me to other skittering thoughts.  How well am I balancing my life?  It seems so precarious so much of the time.  I have glittering moments here and there where absolutely everything feels aligned and the balance feels amazing.  In reality most days, I’m mostly balanced, but this isn’t hand grenades or horse shoes so I want better than most.  After considering the whole balancing act, I started to wonder if I’m even balancing the right things?  I know what I am supposed to be balancing, but how often do I throw useless or unimportant things onto my pile.  Hi, my name is Jessica, I will be juggling an assortment of spikes, broken glass and rubber balls this evening…front row, you having no need to worry, I’m mostly balanced most nights.  If a spike comes your way – duck.  Pay no mind that I’m only required to juggle the rubber balls I just forgot and threw the other stuff in there because I got carried away.

Through all the spring cleaning that has occurred in the last few weeks, I’m attempting a spring cleaning of the soul as well.  Be advised that I’m currently sifting through tons of stuff and am under construction…metaphorically speaking(I am dumping spikes and broken glass).  Tread with caution:)
