Discipline And Patience Are Borne By Disappointment

This morning Anna & I went to the consignment shop and listed some more items. I'm about to hit 100 items that I have listed there. Amazing...especially because I still have junk around the house that I don't need! I am excited to be downsizing. It's a unique feeling...I've always been a packrat. Tyler & I were just discussing last night how our first apartment was a 1 bedroom apartment with one tiny area for storage. We fit everything we had in it. However, as time went on and our living quarters increased in size...so did our belongings. I used to like having so much stuff...now I prefer simplicity of living. ahhh, yes, simplicity.

Anna & I went grocery shopping, got some gas and headed home to eat lunch and play a game before Anna got on the bus. It was rainy outside when she got on the bus, and so I thought I probably wouldn't get to exercise. Thinking this, I went to work getting things done inside the house. By the time I realized that the sun had come out and it was in the 60s outside--Anna was due home soon. However, when Tyler came home, I was able to get a 20 minute walk in. :)

While reading my scriptures today, in the bible dictionary, under the topic of "Faith," I came across the title for this blog: "Discipline and patience are borne by disappointment." It really caught my attention. Perhaps I will become more patient and disciplined by not getting those solos?? It also seems to apply to our not becoming pregnant for the past 4 years that we've been trying...who knows, but that phrase just rings true for me.
