So grateful we went on our vacation. When work would say you can’t leave but you family is needing you, it’s important to remember that sometimes you just need to leave and take time with your family. And the opportunities that come are far greater than what I would have guessed.

Our kids earned a trip to Florida for reading a certain amount of pages in the summer and I am so grateful they did.

Often times I think it’s easier to say something and not follow through, but I am so happy we followed through on this because keeping a commitment is so important even sometimes more important than the vacation.

Also remember that we are disciples of Jesus Christ at all times and in all things and in all places. We don’t change our values or the way we act just because we are on vacation.

In our life there are so many times where we fall, we make mistakes, we beat ourselves down and we can literally beat ourselves up to a point where we become mentally sick. This episode invites you to turn to the Savior and listen to him instead of the voices in our head. We are our worst critics and its so imortant to seek understanding from our mistakes, choose to be humble rather then prideful. Choose to accept that you made a mistake but don't stew in your mistake. Your Savior is here to lift, encourage, and teach, he isn't here to condemn, or punish, we do enough punishing ourselves, we don't need anyone else keeping us down.
