Alma 32 is amazing it is also exactly what I needed to read today. It's amazing how God works. First I've been having a hard time lately with school and stuff and I Kati brings me flowers yesterday from a guy in her class that are beautiful. Then I get to study about faith and can't help but think all I am going through will be for my good even if I learn from it and I don't use it until later.
In reading this chapter I couldn't help but think of the faith that I have and how it affects me everyday. I mean my faith grows everyday also but I have faith in God. I know despite the hard times and the trials that I am going through that He is there and He is aware of me and the struggles. I just need to remember that Faith is things that are hoped for and not see, which are true. (Alma 32:21). I need to become more humble and believing in God and gain more faith in His plan for me by exercising my faith 32 and also like it says in vs 43 reap the reward of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering, waiting for the tree to bring fourth fruit unto it."
I do have faith a lot of it actually sometimes it is hard to have faith and trust in myself and to believe that I can do the things that God has planned for me.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
