People Those Days..

Day 3: (1 Nephi 17-22) Okay. I just have a titch of venting to do. That's what blogs are for anyways, right?! So as I was reading along tonight, I became more and more angry at Lamen and Lemuel. They see Heavenly Father and hear Him speak so many times in their lives and still murmur like no other! I mean, COME ON NOW! If I saw Heavenly Father just once...I would never EVER do anything wrong EVER again! I just get so confused every time I read the chapters about how much they speak against their father and brother even though they are almost killed by God so many times! Goodness...people those days. But as I was reading and thinking this, I realized that I do the same thing!!! Now, I've never seen God or heard His voice, but I've had quite a few miracles happen in my life, and I have the scriptures that have Him speaking in them, and yet, I still do dumb things and mess up all the time! What am I thinkin?? I'm not. I know that Heavenly Father has the power to do anything, I mean, He created this earth and everything on it, so He has the power to destroy it all so easily. I know that I need to be a better person. That is something that I work on every day. So here are my goals to becoming a better person:

1. No judging! I catch myself doing this all the time and it's gotta stop. Everyone is a child of God and is just as imperfect as I am.

2. Pray more. Heavenly Father wants me to talk to Him and sometimes I am "too tired" to just have one conversation with Him. Sad right? Well, that's gonna change.

3. Slow down. This world is going way too fast and I miss way too much when I get caught up in it. I'm gonna be leavin in 35 days so I need to focus on what's important and makes lots of memories while I can. :)

4. Do more random acts of kindness. Sometimes I feel like this world has become one focused on getting gain. Well sometimes, it's good to serve someone just for the heck of it.
