Day 20- Where'd that mighty change go?

The kids are on spring break so we decide to use this week to start scrapping the trim on the house to get it ready for paint. Working with the kids stresses me.


Since I’m outside I see all the junk that has been collecting from Phil’s work. The mess stresses me.

Phil is working on the car so he can’t help us, he spends over an hour trying to find a bolt. Phil rarely being available for family projects stresses me.

Someone stops to ask Phil a question about a problem with his truck. Phil helping other people when he can’t help me stresses me.

I know I’m supposed to think positive, so I’m positive I had a stressful day.



I didn’t see the opportunity and adventure in my day. A minor relapse where old habits got the best of me. I have no desire to fall back into old patterns.

I’ll do better tomorrow.



From the LDS 12 step program



Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Humbly cried unto the Lord Jesus Christ, in our hearts, for a remission of sins, that through His mercy and His grace we might experience a mighty change of heart, lose all disposition to do evil and thus be encircled about in the arms of safety because of His great and last sacrifice. (Alma 36:18; Alma 38:8; Moroni 10:32; Mosiah 5:2; Alma 34:15-16)
