march 23-29 — Enos - Words of Mormon — He works in me to do His will


We’ve hit words of Mormon y’all! Aah! This is such a tiny adorable lil book. Love it. And I love this verse.

If anything becomes abundantly clear when examining the Church, it’s that the Lord’s ways are not men’s ways. The gospel seems like a lot for God to ask when looked at by a simple-minded human perspective.

But when you have that relationship with God, you see His hand in your life daily, you test the gospel principles, you don't take people's word for it and you learn it for yourself, and know, like Mormon does, that “the Lord knoweth all things which are to come,” it makes sense.

march 16-22 — jacob 5-7 — the Lord labors with us



How can we be as unshaken as a mountain, and as Jacob, in our testimonies? I’m sure reasons will manifest themselves as we focus on the reading this week in Come, Follow Me. 

Here are some starters from Jacob’s life.

1. Stand in holy places + watch your friends (2 Nephi 5:6)

The Lamanite-Nephite separation was a pretty big deal - everyone went from pals all in this together from warring civilizations on the run from each other. As we learn, Jacob chose to go with Nephi’s crew, despite how hard it may have been to leave half the family behind. Or maybe it wasn’t hard, like some “we are never ever ever getting back together” thing. Idk 😂. But like there was a lot at stake with this and Jacob not only chose to stand in holy places, he chose to chill with righteous peeps. Yayyyy.

2. Magnify your calling + serve (Jacob 2:2)

After Nephi died, Jacob gave a speech on chastity, pride, and riches to the Nephites. But why? As he said himself, he strived to magnify his calling. We can get involved at church and as we will we can support people having good experiences of fellowship and community at church. You don’t need any calling to be kind — we are all commanded to be. It’s hard to learn at church when you are preoccupied with yourself and feeling lonely - and sometimes you can get out of that funk by finding others and serving them. Getting involved at church is always a great way to serve and learn. 

3.Receive revelation (Jacob 7:5)

As President Nelson said, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” Jacob didn’t skip out on this important message. He said that God spoke to him, and that he prayed often — and those two are inextricably connected. Importantly, he never gave up and followed the command to pray often. 

To see Jacob’s unshaken faith in action, watch this Book of Mormon video below, which was made by the Church's amazing channel. You know it's going to be epic, like, just look at Sherem's balayage beard. Def an icon.😂 it even turns into a medical drama at the end ahahahaha be sure to check it out. Did I sell y'all on it or what?!? 😂



Ok and now some links!





See y’all next week!

march 9-15 — jacob 1-4 — be reconciled unto God through the Atonement of Christ


First of all, I feel terrible for not making this an Atonement verse, aaah, however, the young women’s lesson going with these chapters is about the Atonement so you’ll be able to see some content on the blog/Instagram for that then. So onto this verse that I really do love! 

Is money really even that bad? I’ve always wondered about strong statements we find about dough in the scriptures. Some include 1 Timothy 6:10, for example, in which it says, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” All evil? Everything bad? 

And after the Savior spoke to the rich young ruler, there came these words in Matthew 19. “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

That seems a little harsh. And confusing. The prophet was a doctor. His counselors were businessmen and lawyers. They probably made a lot of money. Are they bad? 

This is why I am grateful for this straightforward verse. Being successful is okay, but it is all about our priorities. And of course, this isn’t just tied to finance. 

2 Nephi 9 talked about education with the famous “But to be ​​​learned​ is good if they ​​​hearken​ unto the ​​​counsels​ of God.” 

And there is no going around this verse: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” from Exodus 20.

And here we derive the true and simple meaning of the verse. This isn’t an invitation to look around at everyone in our ward, the money they seem to have, the cars they buy, the vacations they post about on Instagram. This isn’t an order to judge, judge, judge, find rich people and point fingers. It’s an invitation to think about what we lack, what we can improve on, what path we are going on.  

I doubt any of us are secretly burning incense in the name of Baal in our garage, but there are plenty of other cases for us to examine in which any worldly item or priority - riches, learning, fame - becomes a “god.” 

In this case, it is all about you. Not you serving you but you conducting a humble examination of your days while giving yourself grace. What will you seek this week?

march 2-8 -- 2 nephi 31-33 -- this is the way


Press forward! I'm realizing I just have a teeny little blurb on thoughts on this verse, but that's probably for the better because who cares anyway! Lol so...

Like all scriptures, this can mean so many different things to so many different people, but to me, this almost seems like a plea to just keep swimming.
Not to dumb down every single thing I read to my level, or relate every single principle of the gospel to Disney. To avoid that, we even have a general authority quote. From Elder Holland...
“Don’t give up. Don’t you quit. There is hope and help ahead. Trust in God and believe in good things to come.”
This is such a poignant gospel concept that we all need to remember. Things will turn out as God does His part in His time- but we need to endure to the end.
