Its interesting how God answers our prayers in a way that is needed for each of us. I was reading President Monson's conference address. Oct 2014 "Ponder the Path of Thy Feet", and couldn't help but think of the perfect example that Christ has set for us. He knew exactly how to come into the is world, survive, and leave. That is what we are all in essence trying to do. President Monson sayed, "He tells us to be merciful, to be humble, to be righteous, to be pure in heart, to be a peacemaker. He instructs us to stand up bravely for our beliefs,...let our lights shine so that others may see them and may desire to glorify our Father in Heaven. He teaches us to be morally clean in both our thoughts and our actions....lay up treasures in heaven...go to the rescue of those who have left the path and have lost their way."
I need to walk a more perfect path as I follow His example.
In the conference address "Sharing Your Light" by Sister Neill F. Marriott she reminds me that I need to share my light with service and not be so selfish. I always get so caught up in my own life and what I want, what I need to do that I forget my duty to serve others around me. She quotes President Monson by saying, "If you want to give a light to others, you have to glow yourself." I need to do the things that make me happy I need to be living my life the way I know I should in order to be happy and then I won't only be able to be that example for others but I will be able to glow and share my light with those around me. By continuously doing the small things larger things in my life will come to past. Prayer, scriptures, service and more are all so important  for us to learn in this life.

Blessing: Chase having the priesthood, and being worthy of it to give me a blessing.

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...
