mosiah 5: 1 - 15
have you ever felt that you needed to change spiritually? what did you do about it? if you have experienced a change, have you maintained that change to this day?
--> of course i've felt that i needed to change. i do all the time. just last year, i was really struggling to make the time to study my scriptures daily. i never thought i would be "that girl", "that returned missionary" that had a hard time with that. i mean, i know it's super important, VITAL, to my progression, but was just finding it more difficult to fit in than i would like to admit.
so, when this bofm365 challenge came out, i was so excited, and decided to start this blog to motivate me to read and write my thoughts down every day. i haven't been as diligent about keeping a study journal since being home from the mission, and this blog has helped me get back in the habit of at least writing something down when i read. i am grateful for that. i am still not perfect and sometimes (like this week) let days go by without reading, but i feel overall that i am doing better about motivating myself, and it helps to have specific questions to study each day.
spiritual change is hard to maintain, but i appreciate the extra measure of the spirit that comes with it when we make a commitment to that change. conversion is change, and when we chose to follow Christ, we choose to be changed. i love that about this gospel.
