Happy Halloween! Lacee and I decided that we would have all of our Virtue experiences done by the end of October... I'm really pushing it!
Value Experience 3
Alma Chapter 5. The questions Alma asks:
Verse 11 Alma asks about his father Alma who listened to the words of the prophet Abinadi. He then asks the people if they believe that Abinadi was a prophet. In order to be worthy to enter the temple and in order to keep the covenants you make there you have to believe that Abinadi was a prophet, and that Alma was a prophet, that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that our prophet today still receives revelation from the Lord.
Verse 14 -15 Alma asks have we been spiritually born of God? Have we received his image in your countenances? Have we had a mighty change of heart? Do we exercise faith? Do we see ourselves standing before the Lord? These are all very good questions to think about before we enter the temple for the first time and even every time after that. These are all things that I am continuing to work on. When others see me I hope they see a women that is striving to align her life with what the Lord wants for her.
Value Experience 4
Repentance
Having little Abby it is hard to sit and feel the spirit while taking the sacrament. And it will be years and years before I have a peaceful sacrament meeting experience. But I try and think of the covenants I am making and renewing. Repentance is something I need to work harder at. When I do something wrong I don't really go through all the steps. I hope that Heavenly Father can see my heart and that I really am trying to do better. But I think that really going through the steps of repentance can help to bring healing and helping not to do those things wrong again. I want to be able to teach my children repentance, and how much I love them and how much their Heavenly Father loves them when they repent of the things they have done wrong.
Well that finishes the value experiences from Virtue. Over this next year I will continue to read the Book of Mormon for the value project. I am grateful that I am working on this again. I hope that this will help me to continue to build my testimony and help me to be a better mother and wife. I have a testimony of this gospel, but sometimes I feel like I am not doing all that I can. I want to be better, because when I do all of these things I feel better about myself. I fell like the kind of women I want to be. I have been really happy lately. Kyle has been gone a lot at work, so I've been alone a lot with Abby. My love for that little girl grows stronger each day. I don't know what I would do without her. She is so precious and I can't get enough of her. I can't believe that she is part of me. She is a special little spirit. I hope that I can be a good example to her. I hope that she loves this gospel with all her heart, and that she holds to it and never lets go. This really is the way to happiness. True and pure happiness. I know that.
