Hope

In Family night this week, my daughter shared this scripture.

I really like it. I like it because it is something I desire to have...

I'm working on it.

Psalms 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God;

and renew a right spirit within me.

Faith & Obedience

A good friend gave a talk in church about Faith. She talked about how in order to increase your faith, you have to increase your obedience. It was a great a-ha moment. My mom always said Obedience is the first law of heaven. It makes sense... since faith is needed and faith is power of course we need to start with obedience.

Personal Revelation

On Sunday I attended the Ochre Mountain Temple dedication. It was great. I didn't take notes, but I did feel that my heart was open to the influence of the spirit. I felt impressed during the dedication to start a blog that is primarily of a spiritual nature. That's the thing I really love about personal revelation. None of the speakers said, 'go start a blog of spiritual things'. Their words and the music did invite the spirit to be there and I did feel that and as I opened my heart and mind to it, God was able to speak to me. Him to me. No one else heard it, no one else knew, no one would know if I did not act on it. Well, no one but God & me. The point is, this is one of those times when I am using my agency to act on personal revelation. I'm pretty sure there would be no negative consequences if I did not do this - but maybe, just maybe something good will come of it if I do. It's a leap of faith. It always is for me.
