Too busy for what???

This week's lesson is on our standards and how we can help others understand our standards.  I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what I want to teach my youth about.  Yes, I follow the standards; I don't drink coffee or tea, I don't use crude language, I don't watch or listen to inappropriate entertainment, I dress modestly.  However, my personal scripture study and prayers have drastically decreased...more like halted!

I've always struggled with these two items of my faith, although I do have a wavering testimony of how important they are.  Tonight, I gave my son a bath, read him a story, and sang a lullaby as I laid him down to sleep for the night.  I came back out to the living room to work on my lesson for tomorrow, when I was hit with a personal revelation.  I've been struggling with my new job and I've been extremely busy, but I should NEVER be too busy for my Heavenly Father. 

He is the one who gave me my beautiful family and my job.  Yes, I'm having a hard time, and yes I question my abilities sometimes...but I KNOW He wouldn't have let me get this position or even pass the certification exam if He didn't believe in me.  Now it's my turn to practice a little self-faith. 

I have wanted to become a teacher my entire life.  I've studied to become a Teacher of the Deaf.  I've got three students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, now it's time to put it all to practice!  I know what I've been taught, I've got all the ideas. I am, however, lacking in some confidence. Let's do this!
