Okay I'm really sorry! I promise, I have been reading everyday and staying on-track, but I just havent posted anything! Don't be mad at me okay?! I am now on Day 10! Times flies doesn't it? Especially when yer counting down the days (28 btdubbs...) to when you will be in South America for the next year and a half! AHHHH!! Okay so here's what I havent told you:
Day 4-9: (2 Nephi 7 - Mosiah 16) So I could go on and on and on for ages and tell you everything that I've learned in the books and chapters that I've read, but that would be one stinkin long post and aint nobody got time for that! Can I get an amen? So what I've decided to do is pick one thing that has stood out to me the most while I was reading the past few days. I picked something that is repeated so many times throughout the Book of Mormon. Keep the commandments and ye shall prosper in the land. If I had a dollar for every time that that saying is said, I'd be rich! But that's the sad part. It is said so many times and yet, the Nephites and especially the Lamanites still cannot seem to keep the commandments. Heavenly Father has said, "When ye do what I say I am bound, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." So, Heavenly Father has promised us the world!! Literally, He has given us this world and everything on it, and all He asks us is to keep His commandments. And if we do, He will give us SO many blessings. More than we would even be able to count! But if we don't keep His commandments, "ye have no promise." We will no longer receive blessings from Him and our lives will be pretty rough. I know, that when I die, I want to be able to stand before my Heavenly Father guiltless and unashamed. Sometimes I am slow to keep His commandments, but I know that as long as I repent and go to my Heavenly Father with a broken heart and contrite spirit, He will forgive me and help me become stronger. And I love Him so much for that.
