Hi friends,
My hubby and I were just called as primary teachers.  EEEK!!!  We are both super jazzed about it, but honestly a bit nervous.  The last time we taught together was when we were newlyweds and taught 15-16 year old Sunday School together.  While we loved our class, we always did have a problem with getting them to be quiet and focused enough to even start the lesson.  In preparation for teaching primary, I found this article and thought there were some really great techniques that can be applied to primary and the youth.  I thought I would share it with you as well!  Do you have any additional techniques that you have found to work well?

Be Deliberate – FREE printable!

BeDeliberate

Hi friends,
You guys, summer is here! I love the freedom that summer time brings. If you are like me, you are SO ready to relax!  This mama is TIRED and ready for a break! Maybe it’s the heat, or maybe it’s the lack of routine, but something about summertime just makes me want to do a whole lot of nothing.

Of course, doing a lot of relaxing can be a good thing, and is occasionally vital and necessary.  However, I often find myself in a bit of a rut during summer.  For me, the problem boils down to becoming too relaxed, in all areas of my life.  Like I said, I am TIRED and just plain burned out.  I feel like I deserve a break.   I’m not alone in this, right?

BeDeliberate-4x6The answer for me is knowing that I need to be more deliberate in my daily choices.  In his latest conference address, President Monson said, “It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives.”  There are many things that I need to be more deliberate about. To help motivate me, I have created this PRINTABLE to help remind me of what choices I need to make to be more deliberate in my life.  It includes an 8×10 sign, as well as a 4×6 card to write what you would like to be more deliberate about. Honestly, I have a laundry list a mile long to work on (who doesn’t right?), but I am just going to work on one goal  at a time.  What are some things you need to be deliberate about?
