Revelation

I meant to bear my testimony this past Sunday, but I ended up showing up late to church, and I never could get my mind right to go up on stage. So, I will tell y'all about my experience now. A couple of weeks ago my neighbor came over unexpectedly to ask me a question. As soon as I heard the door bell ring I was like "oh crap...my house is a TOTAL wreck! who could this be?" I was so embarrass at the way my house looked.

Why does it always seem that when your house is clean nobody wants to come over? It isn't until you decide to take a day off from your everyday chores to relax for somebody to come over to your house (with out warning)?

After my neighbor left all I could think about was why does everybody keep catching me with my guard down. Then after awhile I started thinking... You know it is just how Satan works. He never comes around when your doing everything you are suppose to be doing. He doesn't sneak in until we have let down our guard. Everybody always says Heavenly Father knows us. Which is true he does, but Satan knows us too. Better than we know our selves and he is just waiting patiently for that one split second that we think that we have been doing so good that we deserve to take a little break. That is when he knows he has a chance to knock us down.

I don't know why this revelation has not left my mind yet. It seems like I have thought about it everyday since it happened (which was over Thanksgiving break). I have come to realize that this was a warning sent from my Heavenly Father that I really need to step up my game. There is probably going to be some hard times coming a head and I need to prepare my self so I will be able to handle my trials coming up. There isn't time for me to procrastinate. The time to prepare is NOW! I will admit we have been slack. We haven't been reading our scriptures, saying prayers, or family home evening. But I will assure the tasks will be done from now on!

I know my Heavenly Father loves me. I know that if I do my part and follow all the commandments he will be there to protect me. If I am serving my Lord diligently there is no room for Satan to enter my life.
