Diligent . . . and a little lonely

I've been reading King Benjamin's address to his people the last few days.
Mosiah 4: 27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.

I have been pondering how to set up a rhythm (or routine) in our cute little family. With the recent move I felt that now is a good time to try again at establishing some new habits. I pray that as I am on God's errand raising these children I will be able to receive His promised help; in this case wisdom. I need to make sure to not try and do too much; to run faster than I have strength. It says that I need to be diligent. Not perfect, not brilliant, not trend setting or "cool", but diligent. If I can do this I can win the prize of having my family raised to the Lord and able to make it through life becoming better people along the way.

I wish I was more secure in myself, and perhaps someday I will be, but right now I am feeling a little bit lonely. If you are out there and are reading could you leave me a little love? I have no idea if anyone is reading as I have had no feedback. Just let me know if you are reading so I know if I have an audience. Thanks!
