Week 4 Journal Entry

Wow, what a week. Doing some of these assignments has been a little emotional for me. While I was trying to write my Personal Constitution, I was struggling with unhappy feelings towards my family, and that was really hard to do. I wanted to write my Personal Constitution with the Spirit guiding me, but I didn't expect to feel the need to repent before doing schoolwork. My Personal Constitution was just that, very personal to me. Defining the most important values in my life was a little bit difficult. I also loved reading "How Will You Measure Your Life?" by Clayton Christensen, again. He is someone I admire a whole lot, and I always love reading things by him because of the Spirit I feel. It reiterated to me the importance of putting my family first. Even though I am not working right now and am a stay-at-home mom and that might seem easy, I need to focus more on my relationships with each of my children and with my husband and make sure no one is neglected.
