I have a goal to work on family history research each Thursday for a certain amount of time, but perfectionism paralysis keeps happening when I search for family names. So, lately I have been indexing records on Family Search to fill my goal quota of time. It feels mostly like a defeat when I turn to indexing instead of working on my own family line. Fear of entering my family names wrong has really been chasing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I prayed about it, and said I was sorry I wasn&#8217;t more brave. I expected some direction from the Lord about how to fix my paralysis, but instead, I felt unreserved love. Also, I felt assured that I am doing family history work that I hadn&#8217;t thought to claim. I may need a guide to help me with my Finnish family line, but there is plenty I can do without assistance, and lots of things that I AM doing to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201c<em>Anytime<\/em>\u00a0you do\u00a0<em>anything<\/em>\u00a0that helps\u00a0<em>anyone<\/em>\u2014on either side of the veil\u2014take a step toward making covenants with God and receiving their essential baptismal and temple ordinances, you are helping to gather Israel.
