Spiritual Slump of sorts

I think not feeling well and health problems can present a unique challenge sometimes.  We can either let our faithfulness slide and become spiritual slackers or we can turn our hearts in faith to the Lord.  I have a dear friend who has had more than her fair share of health issues with her children and her own body - she has chosen to do the latter.  She is an inspiring example of steadfastness, enduring to the end, faithfulness, hope and optimism.  And she never lets down.

Then there is me.  I am ashamed to say I have let my difficulties with this fourth and final pregnancy bring me down rather than lift me up.  I have slacked on everything from reading my scriptures regularly to family prayer to family home evenings.  My church attendance is out of my control, but that has been a struggle also.  

I don't have much else to say about this except that I hope I can turn my heart to the Lord and look to Him for strength as I did when I had the miscarriage rather than continue to make excuses for why I'm committing sins of omission.  I have been given many examples to follow and it's time I begin to follow them.
