My New List of Never's

We all have these. Huge lists of 'I will never...' I have to say that my list has changed significantly over the years and I think it's hilarious to remember what I used to say I would never do.
I used to say I would never:
-Let my kids go out of the house without their hair done (now it happens more than I like to admit.)
-Dress my kids in Lee jeans (this one is funny because I said that when I was like 12, now sometimes I buy clothes at Wal-Mart..gasp.)
-Marry and ARMY man (funny because I happen to love mine.)
-Use coupons (I can't even believe I used to say this, now it's my favorite thing EVER.)

This cracks me up, I was so lame. I still am, but hopefully my ideas are changing.

My new list of "never's" is:
-I never want another penny of debt ever.
-I never want two car payments ever again.
-I never want to be divorced.
-I never want to be a widow.
-I never want to be pregnant again (this may change..)
-I never want to lose touch with reality
-I never want to take my wonderful husband for granted again.

I wonder what will change with this list over the next few years.

Listen To The Still Small Voice

I will say this flat out. I received a prompting last night after a night wrought with anxiety and sadness. I listened. I'm thankful I did. That's all I want to say about what happened but I wanted to say a couple things that ran through my mind last night.
I don't know if everyone reading my blog is aware of my beliefs or shares them, but I will say that I know that our Heavenly Father sends the Holy Ghost to prompt us to do certain things at times. These can be the most subtle of feelings or an out right voice telling us to do or say something or not to do or say something. First I am so grateful that we are blessed to receive promptings. In my short 29 years of life, I have received many, some I have followed and some I am ashamed to say I have not. I don't know what would have happened had I not listened the times I did, but I sure know what I could have avoided had I listened when I did not. I learned on my mission that sometimes we are tested to build a relationship of trust with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes nothing bad will happen if we do or don't listen, but we are tested to see if we will listen in the times that it really matters most.
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father who has blessed me and my little family so abundantly in the short time James has been gone from us. He has truly watched over us and James and protected us so much.
I pray for the humility I desperately need to listen more often. I know that I am so far from as good as I could be and I hope to be better each day.
