H..."What causes you to become less committed? How do you stay on track or get back on track?"<br /><br />Michaela<br />I think my answer would be "Me". My husband brought it to my attention concerning the ebbs and flows of our committment, not only to the gospel but because of it, our committment to our lives in general.<br />He pointed out that even though we may read our scriptures and lessons and conference reports; we may seek to magnify our callings,etc, but what happens to our personal lives? Can we bring together the discipline of our spiritual life into our temporal life? If we are "organized" in our spiritual life, then the fruit must be that our temporal life runs on the same track.<br />There is a past Ensign article, that concerns 2 boys contemplating jumping off a hill into a body of water. It must be scary, because one boy starts to walk away, but the other one jumps in and he says "Brother I am committed". I realize that is the answer, we must be "all in" like a high stakes poker game.<br /><br />I am glad my husband brought this to my attention, even though I had an "attitude" while he was speaking with me, but in hindsight, I know that his words were motivated by love and his prayers for us. So my motivation is that I love the "spiritual" aspect of my life, but in order to be more constant, and productive, I will do my best to align my temporal life too. What is sealed on earth is sealed in heaven.
