Temporal and Spiritual

As I think about today I can think of all the random funny facts of the day. The phones not working at work, and trying not to laugh as we talked on the phones hearing nothing on the other end, just in case they could hear us even though we couldn't hear them. Finally feeling like I am not the worst non-girlfriend in the whole world because I finally found the letter Keith wrote me over a month ago that I never replied to. how this past weekend was very fun. How I don't like having to get used to time changes. How Kel loves orange Soda, ect.......
Then as I'm getting ready for bed thinking how tired I am, I remember that I still needed to finish today's chapter. Then I recalled my favorite part of the day, and it wasn't any of the things I'd mentioned earlier, It was the recollection that when I did start reading at work today, I never started the chapter I was supposed to get to. Instead I started on the wrong page rereading a chapter I was on a couple days ago. This chapter saying "And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle: easy to be entreated: full of patience and long-suffering: being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times....." Oh my goodness. How is it that I alCheck Spellingways seem to read exactly what I need to be hearing. First it was Mosiah 18:9 right as I was preparing for the Radiation and then this one and I'm sure there are other stories like this that I have experienced as I've been reading More diligently that I have forgotten about because I don't let these parts of my day be the main focus.
As I continue my lent goal of reading every day, I know want to try to also pay more attention to the spiritual aspects of my day rather then the not so important things. Not that I won't write about them, or that they aren't important as well. I just feel that it is more important for me to document these moments when I am made aware of the fact that Heavenly Father is here and he does know everything that I'm going through as I'm going through it and having me read and understand what I'm reading in relation to the things going on in my life at any given moment. I think that these are the moments that matter.
Making a goal of noticing the Spiritual in my life at the very least just as much as I notice the not so profound parts of my day.
Expanding on my goals and trying to grow more. I'm working on it, I'm working on it.
