DAY 110 -- Last 110 Days Before Mission Day

As I sat down today to post my blog, the computer, or the blog people, or the stars, or the gremlins, or whatever... would not work, and thus I did not post as early as I desired to today.  I read my scriptures before I left for work and I read in the Words of Mormon the following:  "...he worketh in me to do according to his will."

As I read that scripture, I assumed that whatever I was going to write down this morning before was not according to "his will."  I guess I was not listening to His direction so the computer had to malfunction and not let me write what was on my mind.  Little "tenders mercies" or little or big "miracles" like that happen all the time. 

But do I realize it is His will or was it just a malfunction of the computer for a few seconds?  Many will say that I am putting too much into such an occurrence.  To each his own interpretation.  But as for me in my house, or me in my mind, it is a message from Father to reconsider what I was going to write, ponder about it for a few minutes and then re-evaluate what He may want me to write. 

When I recall that Elder Maxwell taught that Father is so much closer to our lives that any of us realize, and if we knew in truth His awareness of everything that happens, perhaps we would not mock at the small occurrence that happened to me today. 

I know.  It was just a small little thing.  But it did make me decide that I was going to pray, ponder and take a bit more time to assure that I am writing what He wants me to write in this blog.  If I do not listen in little things, will I listen in big things that He needs done, especially in far away places as we go on our mission?

These last 110 days are flying by rapidly, and I feel I would like to report on this blog an action, what we do to get closer to our mission.  Something should be done every day.  I have a gazillion goals I have mentioned, and I need to be working on all of them.  But we need to do many things also to be ready, for there is a location where Father wants us to go and even more importantly, a time when He wants us ready.  Thus, we need to be working toward this Mission daily.  Thus today's action is to take the action to commit to report on our daily action to further our preparation to M day.
