I took the Hinckley challenge after the Prophet's passing. It is to honor him by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days because that is how old he was when he died. You started on February 4th & finish on April 11th. Anyway so I got 5 days behind in my reading (there is a great site, readthescriptures.com that tracks your reading you should check it out) & I had to read a bizillion chapters yesterday. Which while time consuming it is an amazing experience to immerse yourself in the scriptures.
I was reading in Alma 5 & as I was reading I thought if there is any doubt as to where you stand in your current life before the Lord this chapter lays it out in the most simpliest terms. I am so grateful that the Lord had his prophets write for people like me who need it spelled out for them once in a while. Unlike Isaiah I get this.
Many of you may not know but I was re-baptised March 13th 1988. 20 years ago today! And as I just recently turned 40 it is nice to know that I have now lived a righteous life longer than I did not. Today I am feeling very grateful for parents who did not give up on me & for my Loving Heavenly Father & Savior that were always there for me even when I tried to ignore them!! (if you are saying WHAT!!! if you have any questions I would be glad to share my story with any one who asks because who I am today has come about because of what I experienced it is part of me)
Gratefully, Wendy
