ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE

To start, let’s talk about the Lord and organization. I am going the Creation for my information because first that is where it all started and second that is what the temple uses so I feel it is a safe place to gain doctrine.
1. He planned His organization first
2. He was OK with only part done at a time
3. His organized took time; ie He did not do it all once
How do we know this?
1. He planned His organization first ( spiritually prep 1s) D&C 29:34, Moses 3:5
2. He was OK with only part done at a time (good) Moses: 10, 12, 18, 21, 25
3. His organized took time; ie He did not do it all once (7 days) Moses 3:3
And what was His goal with His organization? US
So how does this relate to organizing my life?
1. Plan what you are going to organization first
2. Be OK if only a part of it gets done at a time
3. It will take time
And what was is your final goal with your organization? You and your family
If you are organize your food storage; do it while your kids are playing in your basement; don’t get frustrated—they are the real goal—it is food for them 
So how do I know which part of my life to organize?
--so if sewing is not your talent don’t worry about organizing it into your life; but if want to learn that is OK….I will never put sewing in my life but I do want to make homemade bread but I just have to wait for a different season
Sister Beck says it this way—
“A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of which are important…But with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently.”
Rely on personal revelation.
To close, I want everyone to remember Mosiah 4:27—while all things are done in order, do not run faster than you have strength
