"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:21
This has so much meaning to me and I get so much happiness and strength from reading it and thinking about it. This passage reminds me of the love of my life, how much I adore him and need him in my life. It reminds me of all we've been through and how we've come together and survived it all. I can't think of this passage without thinking of him and how much he's changed my life. Last Sunday, I had so much I wanted to write about everything this passage makes me feel, but I couldn't put it down. Instead I just promised myself that I'd do better in living this principle and displaying it outwardly to those I love.
How did I do? I had my victories, I had my failures. The failures came in that I didn't live this principle like I wanted to every day. Life makes for a great excuse for why we forgot to be the person we strive to be, doesn't it? But the victory comes in that now, sitting back, thinking of my week, I see where I failed and, most importantly, I see why I failed.

I've honestly spent quite a lot of time thinking, writing, praying, and I'm feeling really good. I've already had several realizations about what I can do to help myself out and help out my family, bringing myself closer to living this principle that is so important to me. Over the next week, I'm going to start introducing the changes that I think that will help me to live this passage I love so much.
Talk about being inspired! This is how I want to start my week every week...
