My Random Blogging Therapy
I ate a low-carb yogurt I found at Smith's this morning. It only has 5 carbs but it tastes just as rich as Greek yogurt. I saw it last night and I just wanted to try it. VERY NICE!!! I came to work Tuesday and had Wednesday off I'm here today and I have tomorrow off. No temple for 3 weeks too.
I need to get all these books ready for Monday, remove the Christmas decorations and pack these books that didn't sell at our book sale. I kept thinking the new module started Monday but it actually doesn't begin until the 13th. That is FABULOUS!!! I can get a lot of things done quickly now and I will be more than prepared when the students get here.
2 Nephi 18
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me: aCall his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
I like how there's a prophetess anciently. This chapter however is pretty doom and gloom even if it written by the skilled Isaiah.
Be Ye Converted - Bonnie L. Oscarson
Young friends, we live in perilous times, and the decisions which you are called upon to make on a daily, or even hourly, basis have eternal consequences. The decisions you make in your daily life will determine what happens to you later. If you do not yet have a firmly rooted testimony and conviction that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the kingdom of God on the earth, now is the time to do what it takes to gain that conviction. To delay making the effort required to earn that kind of conviction can be dangerous to your soul.
Being truly converted means we are acting upon what we believe and allowing it to create “a mighty change in us, or in our hearts.”3 In the booklet True to the Faith, we learn that “conversion is a process, not an event. You become converted as a result of … righteous efforts to follow the Savior.”4 It takes time, effort, and work.
The Savior taught, “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”5 Sometimes we try to do it backward. For example, we may take this approach: I will be happy to live the law of tithing, but first I need to know that it’s true. Maybe we even pray to gain a testimony of the law of tithing and hope the Lord will bless us with that testimony before we have ever filled out a tithing slip. It just doesn’t work that way.
This desire to share the gospel with others and the confidence to testify boldly are natural results of true conversion. The Savior taught Peter, “When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”8
My Real Estate instructor texted me so I could get him to sign my application so I can send it in and activate my license while I look for a Broker. I just drove over to Bridgerland to do that. I'm excited to find my broker. What I'm really interested in is finding someone willing to work with me since I want to work part time. Location makes a difference to me too.
