Growing tall

On my run today I felt strong. I felt powerful and good and whole. I am amazed at what has happened as I have planted myself in fertile ground. I love this picture because I look tall. What's so fascinating is how much I've grown inside. I was just thinking, "When did I become the rock?" I have friends that call for advice regularly and really listen and take my advice. I feel like the big sister finally, after all these years of being the flake. I finally feel like I'm coming into my own and becoming the person I want to be. All good things. The only problem is:

I'm so tired.

Doctrine and Covenants 64:33 says, "Be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great." But I am weary. I am so tired in fact that I don't have the energy to ponder how to get unweary. The requirement in verse 34 is the heart and a willing mind (I do have those things, mostly) and the promise is great: Eating of the land of Zion in these last days. There's a great harvest when we are willing and obedient. However, I don't think that this means say yes to everything. I feel the most productive when my days are full. I feel as though I have a great purpose and I am fulfilled by that. I also need me some Zion. The world is just too filthy for my tastes. So, the conclusion is: I have grown tall, therefore I can do more, therefore I will be tired. At least I have peace in knowing that what I'm doing is right.
