Alright, the time has finally come that I am actually starting a blog. Dang I feel like a girl now. haha. The real reason I'm starting this blog is for myself, as a study journal/ everyday journal. I must admit that I have been awful in my journal writing as of late, in fact I haven't written in it since I finished my mission. . . . sad I know. So I figured I would start again before I forget the spiritual and important things that are occurring in my life daily.
One of my favorite quotes from Joseph Smith is "When the Lord commands-Do it!" This became a reoccurring theme on my mission. In fact it got to the point that I carried around a small little black notepad and I would write down little impressions and revelations that I would receive. . . then I would do them.
While I was in the MTC Elder Richard G. Scott told us to write down these words: "For the rest of my life I wwill consistantly seek to learn by what I see, hear, and feel. I will write down the important things I learn and I will do them." He went on to say, "If we apply that principle it will create a purposeful life." (11/24/05)
President Henry B. Eyring stated, "My point is to urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness. It will build our testimonies. You may not keep a journal. You may not share whatever record you keep with those you love and serve. But you and they will be blessed as you remember what the Lord has done. . . Tonight, and tomorrow night, you might pray and ponder, asking the questions: Did God send a message that was just for me? Did I see His hand in my life or the lives of my children? I will do that. And then I will find a way to preserve that memory for the day that I, and those that I love, will need to remember how much God loves us and how much we need Him. I testify that He loves us and blesses us, more than most of us have yet recognized. I know that is true, and it brings me joy to remember Him." (oct. 2007)
So there it is-- thats my goal, to try and write as frequently as possible, so I will save these insights and tender mercies of the Lord.
