My Journey Back
Posted On 04/04/2008 18:15:31 by sissyboo10

04/04/2008  I started reading the Book or Mormon yesterday (just finished the Bible).  It's been years and years since I last read it, I was a teenager attending seminary.  I've been enjoying being back at church, and I'm hoping that my Book of Mormon study will bring me the answers I'm looking for.  I've felt so totally lost the last few years, lost in everything, career, family, spiritual life, friendships, finances.  I'm hoping the Lord will help me find some focus and direction in my life, the direction that He wants me to go.  Talking to other LDS members may help as well, I'm hoping!

04/08/2008  I'm making steady progress in my reading, I'm about halfway through 2 Nephi.  I found the Institute Manuals very helpful when reading the bible, and I'm finding the same thing to be true with the Book of Mormon.  I haven't been in a very good prayer place lately, though, so I really need to work on that.  I did however receive my reservation confirmation for my Nauvoo trip in July.  Something to smile about!

04/10/2008  Feeling much better about life in general tonight, even though my meeting with the missionaries was postponed last night.  Although I'm already a member, it has been so long that my bishop thought I should meet with them for a bit, and see how that went.  I thought it was silly at first, and unnecessary, but I've really come to enjoy our Wednesday evening discussions, and really missed it last night.  Looking forward to Church Sunday, instead!

04/15/2008  I've managed to catch up with Sunday School on the Book or Mormon.  We have a very good teacher, and I really enjoy Sundays.  I just often wish that I lived in an area with a higher concentration of members.  It would be so much easier if I was around other Saints on a daily basis.  However, I have to figure the Lord knew what he was doing when he put me where I am.  I will have to trust in that.

In the parable of the prodigal son, The Father, who represents our Heavenly Father, runs back to greet His son who has been away.  This is always what happens, when we decide to come back, irrespective of how far off we are.  He will always turn and run to our aid.  The Book of Mormon will help illustrate this to you.  The spririt will be your personal Liahona.  It will compliment your Patriarchal Blessing.  Both work according to your desire and efforts to do what is right.  I promise you that the Lord will lead you and is now leading you, as you continue to strive to be obedient.  Remember that the Lord builds incredible things, but always through curious workmanship.  Both the Liahona and the ship that Nephi and his family built were not of man but of Curious workmanship.  You will be built the same way.
Best,
Jonathan

Welcome!  Reading the Book of Mormon always brings me clarity of mind among other things.  I pray you will experience the same. God bless.
