What a Yoga Ball to the face taught me.

So I broke my glasses tonight...I don't usually wear glasses but because of pink eye they have been my best friend lately.  They broke right down the middle and yes like the title says it was because a yoga ball hit me just right in the face and BAM...goodbye glasses.

So I love playing volleyball. It's my favorite sport...if I get the chance to play it I take it. I went to an activity tonight where we played volleyball with exercise balls which is actually harder then it sounds. Even before I ran to join the game I kept getting that nagging feeling that I shouldn't play because I might break my glasses...and did I listen? Nope. Even after I started to play I kept getting the feeling. Did I listen then? Nope.

It wasn't as if the feeling was being yelled at me...it was a small feeling that I kept brushing aside. And then KABOOM like a ton of bricks I got hit smack dab in the face with a yoga ball. Life would have been much easier if I had simply listened to The Holy Ghost in the first place.

I should be more like President Monson and "never postpone a prompting". I was treating The Holy Ghost's prompting like a nuisance instead of something that was meant to help me. I ignored it because I wanted to do something. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be to Heavenly Father.

Hopefully I only have to learn this lesson once. Being smacked in the face with a yoga ball wasn't the most pleasant thing to happen but it could have been much worse. Hopefully this is a lesson that will always remind me to always listen to the whisperings of The Holy Ghost and that through the Holy Ghost God speaks to us, to help us and to guide us.
