My Revelation!

- In Institute yesterday we were talking about the importance of the sacrament and that there are so many people in the church who don't understand the purpose or the importance of coming to the sacrament and partaking of it. We renew our covenants with God, not just our baptismal covenants but also the covenants we made in the temple with Him. We need to remember them and to remember what we are responsible for and most important reflection on what we need to improve on or do better at. - When we partake of the sacrament WORTHILY we are allowing Christ into us, both in a spiritual and a physical sense. We are asking Him to heal us and to make us more like He is. Are we allowing that to happen or do we just partake of the sacrament because that's what we do each week? "took upon themselves the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end." (Ether 6:3) - Taking upon ourselves the name of Christ is a big deal. It makes me think of our last names th...

- Moroni is alone. I have felt alone before but been around many people, I think it's interesting though that there were people around him but none that were or wanted to live the way he did. I think of that today, sometimes we are surrounded by people and yet feel alone in our beliefs, actions, and words because of the way we are trying to live. But it's important to ALWAYS REMEMBER that Christ is there for us always. I have a tendency to forget this and to rely on my own strength and knowledge which isn't much. "...they ordained them by the power of the Holy Ghost, which was in them."  -What a blessing to have the Holy Ghost with us always as long as we are striving to live our lives to have Him with us. I also think of the men who hold the priesthood and have been loaned the power of God to bring to pass His gospel and His purpose. How much more could we achieve if we were to always live worthy of it and therefore grow closer to God? "Elder James E. T...

- People often rejected God's servants and Prophets that were sent to teach and testify to them what was to happen. In what ways today do we do that? We don't stone the Prophet or throw him our of our cities but in what ways do we likewise do these things to reject the Prophet and God's word?  I feel like not listening or taking heed to His words and his counsel is the same thing today. When we don't do as we are asked we are doing as they did in old times when they rejected the prophets for telling them to live as our Father in Heaven would have them live. -The wicked receive strength and more power with their secret combinations. I never understand how those who are wicked receive strength more than those who are righteous. - I don't particularly like to read the many many war chapters in the Book of Mormon but it is interesting to compare the success or lack thereof when the people us the strength of God or when they go about using their own strength the...

Moroni testifies of Christ for his posterity and those who might read his writings, because of the marvelous miracles, visitations, and blessings he has received. We are also invited to "...seek this Jesus..."  seek- To go in search or quest of; to look for; to search for by going from place to place. - To "seek this Jesus"  takes more effort and time then I think we typically give it some days. If we were seeking for an answer or a cure for a sickness or for cancer for a loved one how hard would we seek? Would we go to the end of the world to read all the books we could about it or would we just rely on others and their knowledge? How can we better seek Him? And not only seek Him but find Him in our own lives? Blessing- happiness!!! :) 😁

"...faith is things which are hoped for and not seen;...for ye recieve no witness until after  the trial of your faith." (Ether12:6) - God will bless us always but we are the ones who aren't trustworthy all the time so we have to do our part before he will bless us and give us what we need at that time. - Faith is one of the hardest things to get and yet I would think it would be one of the most rewarding to have unwavering faith and to work to wards a knowledge and true understanding of all things by living our lives righteously and by obeying the commands of God. We are asked to be meek, Neal A. Maxwell said, "Meekness ranks low on the mortal scale of things, yet high on God's: 'For none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart.' (Moroni 7:44.) The rigorous requirements of Christian discipleship are clearly unattainable without meekness. In fact, meekness is needed in order to be spiritually successful, whether in matters of the...

-It's interesting how some in the scriptures can have wicked parents and turn out good and rule righteously and some can have righteous parents and rule wicked? What is it today that we can do to have our kids stay in the gospel and to love and live it? -Why do we have to be told to things so many times? I think it is interesting also that we often times can't learn from the mistakes of others we have to learn from our own mistakes over and over again. When God tells us something to do or not to do to it should be obvious but not always is it, even to me. -How much faith do you have? How often are you willing to exercise your faith? - I can't imagine the miracles we would see every day or even recognize every day if we were to have greater faith in ou God. I'm sure there is so much more going on around us that we don't even know, recognize or can't even comprehend. Blessing- I had fun at my photo shoot

-Because the people had a righteous king to rule over them they were both " exceedingly strong " and " exceedingly rich ". I also think that God will bless us in the ways He sees fit when we are living our lives righteously. By better recognizing or trying to recognize our blessings we can become truly happy. It is easy to recognize not receiving blessings we wanted but that doesn't do us any good, but make us bitter and upset. - Let's look for extraordinary blessings in our lives, recognize daily the things the Lord gives us and does for us. -It's interesting how many times in the scriptures people fight or kill others in their own family for wealth or for the thrown. What does it mean to you to be in a family? Is it just a group of people you were stuck with or do you truly care about them? Blessing- I was blessed with a beautiful body and mind. (I am pretty and seek to be like my Savior)
