scrippys

this morning as i was reading in alma, i discovered a solution to a problem.

in alma chapter 28:

 PROBLEM -- verse 13 reads:

And thus we see how great the inequality 
of man is because of sin and transgression, 
and the power of the devil, which comes 
by the cunning plans which  he hath 
devised to ensnare the hearts of men.

SOLUTION -- verse 14 reads:

And thus we see the great call of diligence 
of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; 
and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, 
and also of rejoicing -- sorrow because of 
death and destruction among men, and
joy because of the light of Christ unto life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we will mess up.
we will fail.
the adversary will always tempt us.
but if we set our hearts upon exquisite and wonderful things, then we can always follow them.
it is up to us to choose how we will act and what we will do.
i choose to follow my heart.
i choose joy.
i choose light.
i choose Christ.

OK.. you are so awesome! I've been reading your blog for a little while (I found it through friends friends). I love everything you write! It's so so perfect to things that have been happening in my life recently. I remember in institute too how you have such way with words and making the gospel simplistic! That's an incredible gift! Hope you don't mind me adding you to my blog. You rock :)

Can I just say that I want to be like you when I grow up? :) I don't think I could have ever ended up where you are if I had endured everything you have. In fact, I probably would have been to stubborn to even convert to the church in the first place. That's why Heavenly Father sent me to a family already in the church. But he knew you would always make it back to him. I love you girl, hope you have a wonderful week full of surprises and fun! I admire you, keep on enduring to the end!!!!
