He never said it would be easy, he only said it would be worth it.

I'm suffering from a play hang over. The last performance was Saturday night and now my body is reminding me just how many hours I spent on my feet that day. The five hour rehearsal on Friday, and the 10:00 -10:00 schedule on Saturday caught up with me and I feel like someone dropped a piano on me. I guess now it's time to take a breather. It's so easy to forget the most important things in life isn't it. I look back at the times I forgot my prayers and scripture study as I flopped into bed after an exhausting day and shake myself as I realize I was starving my spirit. What a way to make things a million times harder. Now not only my physical body is suffering but my spirit is sick too. I wish I could say it will never happen again, but I am so imperfect I will have to be reminded time and time again. Helaman 5:12 rings in my ears as I think of being called back. "And now, my sons (and daughters), remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
