D&C 74:7 ” But little ^achildren are ^bholy, being ^csanctified through the ^datonement of Jesus Christ;”

This was my scripture for the day.  I thought it fitting since I was on my way to watch Melissa’s kids in the morning.  I am not a morning person.  I hate going to bed late and getting up early especially to watch kids, cause I need lots of patience when watching kids.  I read this and knew it was my scripture for the day.  It helped me to refocus on my situation and take a different mindset.

I knew I was inspired this morning when I woke up and the first thing that came into my head was “check your blood sugar,” so I did and it was low.  I have to say that I have listened to the Holy Ghost on that one so many times.  I mean sometimes it will be in the middle of the night, I will just pop awake and that thought will be the first thing that will pop into my head, every time it is low.  I have learned to listen to the still small voice.  So when I woke up that way and then read this scripture, I knew I was inspired, because if   I didn’t wake up early I probably wouldn’t have read my scriptures before going.  I am grateful I listened.

That is my scripture for today.  Normally I take it from the Doctrine adn Covenants, but the section I was reading was all about bishops and I wanted something a little closer to home.  Right now as I am trying to lose weight, I can appreciate this one more.  To hunger and thirst–we all know what that feels like for food, so we can relate the urgency and the desire toward righteousness.

Wow, I finally figured it out.  I decided that I am going to read my scriptures in the morning before I go get Ben.  Normally, I hear Ben awake and sleep for another half hour or so.  I decided to get up insteadto read some scriptures.  I am reading to find a scriputre for the day to think about during the day.  I am writing that down and then thinking of it throughout the day.  Today is a scriputre about those who read the Book of Mormon and accept it will be given power.  I really like that thought.  If you read and accept the teachings in the Book of Mormon you shall have power from on high.  Quite nice.  And at teh end of the day I am going to write in my journal.  In the past I would write and write a detailed event of everything that happened in the day, but now I am going to just change my mindset, cause I don’t have time for that and just write a few things down.  That way I will have something instead of nothing.

I could come on here and write my scripture and why I chose it.  Good idea.  We’ll see how it plays out.
