Lizzie Loves: Changing experiences


Don't keel over.... two blog posts in a week?!?!?! 

      I had an hour in between classes today, and I decided to read a couple chapters in the good ol' Book of Mormon. I have been focusing on the New Testament, because that is what I am learning in institute. (Did I mention, I love institute? Well, I do!) Anyway-- I opened to the book of Mosiah. I have just felt lately that I should read the book of Mosiah right now. There is something that I need to know. I read two or so chapters, and I can not tell you how much I love it! I have always loved the book of Alma... It was always so intriguing to me. Well, today when I read those chapters in Mosiah, I just felt the spirit. I am SoOoOoO grateful to have the opportunity to have the spirit in my life. I have been praying lately that I can have the spirit as my constant companion. I was promised that, but I need to better prepare myself, and act in a way that is pleasing unto God.

      I am constantly amazed at the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It is so complex, and yet so simple. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have of God, and Christ. They are there. Always.  It is evident all around me, and I need to take the time to notice.

     I had a Young Woman's leader who gave me a challenge to read the Book of Mormon, and underline anytime it talked of Christ. I still haven't finished...(Bless my heart!) But, That challenge has been changing me! It is teaching me how to realize how much the scriptures testify of Christ. It has opened my eyes to see Christ more fully in my life. He is all around me! Cindy probably never knew the impact that challenge was going to have on my life, when she issued it, but it changed me! I will forever be grateful! Thank You!

This is just another day in Lizzie's Lovable... changed Life!
