Now, I know I am not the only one that has had this experience, there are a lot of articles out there describing “mom guilt” from women who use their God given weapons from home or from work and even mom guilt from women who just want to take an hour to go to the gym. The guilt trips are always there! So the pattern here is not that I am actually neglecting my family but that the adversary doesn’t like us using our God given weapons or improve ourselves in any way or help others, no matter where we are. So if he is gonna give us the same messages everywhere then it’s not us, it’s him!

Elder Jeffrey R Holland has shared with us, he said: “Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it. So should we.”

So let’s be kind and patient with ourselves no matter where we choose to use our weapons. 

And remember the only thing that matters is, “What thinks Christ of me?”
