My Thoughts on the Importance of Family
All of my life I thought I wanted to be a working woman. I always thought of kids as sort of an inconvenience - something that could possibly get in the way of a real art career for me. But now that I’m carrying a little girl in my belly, I WANT to do everything I can to make space for her in my life. I WANT to make her a priority. It feels nice, and it feels right. I have still found a way that will allow me to maintain somewhat of an art career, but still be able to focus on my family. because family is so important to me.
I already feel more fulfilled…that my life has more purpose and depth. Doing something bigger…helping bring about a life! Once I have her, even if I don’t have all of the time in the world for my business, at least there is still a high purpose to my life - raising a child of God. It feels really nice. I feel really happy - even with the discomfort and difficulties of pregnancy..I find that I’m happier.
I know that family is central to God’s plan, and that when we follow God’s way, we are happier. I am really beginning to feel the truthfulness of that as I make changes in my life to allow more time for family.
MAKE SPACE FOR WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
Here is a printable file of "The Family: A Proclamation to the World". It was given by a prophet of God, whom I truly believe receives direct revelation from God. If there is anything that bothers you in this document, pray about it. Ask your Heavenly Father if it is right, if it is true, and if it is something that you need to apply into your life. I know that He will answer, and He will direct you to how you can attain more joy in your life by living by his commandments. He loves you and wants you to be happy. This proclamation helps ensure that. Sometimes that means sacrificing something that you think you love, but you will find peace, and it will lead to eternal life and so many blessings.

ReplyDeleteHello! I love this printable that you are so generously offering! Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us. Our relief society wanted to offer a print of the proclamation to the world to our sisters in the ward. We decided to print them in 11x14. Is your printable without a boarder available in the 8.5x11 only or will it also work in an 11x14 version?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
