I woke up this morning eager to read my scriptures. I had such a great day yesterday...and it was THURSDAY! Those are usually my least favorite days of the week! But there was just something special about yesterday. Maybe it was the fact that I got up early and got dressed that made me productive. But I feel like I had the Holy Ghost with me yesterday. I didn't lose my temper once, got lots done and just felt happy all day.
1 Nephi Chapter 2
When I read this chapter I can just imagine what some of my sisters would say if my parents told them they were selling their house and moving to Missouri to live in a tent. I don't think they would go. The big difference between Laman, Lemuel and Nephi is that Nephi had a desire to know the truth. He was teachable. And again instead of just believing his father, he prayed about it to know for himself and he knew what his father was saying was true. Lamen and Lemuel didn't want to know if it was true...they just wanted to complain.
1 Nephi Chapter 3
I think it would take incredible faith to believe that your father is a prophet and not a crazy man.

Mosiah 2:41
And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
Since it seems I am on the computer so often, this blog is a place for me to write down my thoughts as I read the scriptures. I am not a scholar, but I just want to be better about reading my scriptures.
