I am a sinful man

I'm reading all the references under Jesus in the TG, and so far I'm still in the summary part. And what touched me today was Luke 5:8, and that Simon Peter was so humbled and inadequate-feeling when he saw what Jesus could do, when he saw what he Peter could do with Jesus's help. He immediately recognized his sins and wanted to get rid of them in order to feel worthy of His presence. This is interesting ans applied to missionary work: when we help others taste of the love of Christ, they want to get to know Him.

Trust in the Lord and lean not unto thine own understanding
Acknowledge him. Do this by:

1 feasting upon the word. "More scriptures enlighten our minds, nourish our spirits, answer our questions, increase our trust in the Lord, and help us center our lives on Him."

2 Pray. "As we make a habit of approaching Heavenly Father in prayer, we will come to know the Savior. We will come to trust Him. Our desires will become more like His. We will be able to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that Heavenly Father is ready to give if we will but ask in faith."

3 Serve. "Service enabled her to withstand her pain and afflictions and to live this scripture: 'When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.'"

-God is a giver, not a taker. Pay attention to the girfts He has given me. Pay attention to the difficulties I face, and try to see them as gifts, as something that will help me and allow me to be helpful to him.

-God is a giver, not a taker. Pay attention to the girfts He has given me. Pay attention to the difficulties I face, and try to see them as gifts, as something that will help me and allow me to be helpful to him.

Ok. I want to BELIEVE this. So I'm goinf to LET Him give to me. And I need to do my part. By going to bed early and getting up early every day. So I can have at least 30 solid minutes of scripture study.  And I'm going to ask Him to give me the gifts of patience and a calm heart. And to know And abide by my limits.

-Meekness comes before faith and any other principle. Meekness isn't weakness. Imagine a stallion that stops from a full gallop at the voice of his master. Meekness is recognizing where strength comes. And knowing why it's important.

-Make a list of things I expect myself to do, the world, and God.

-Sis Nelson: what's your premortal to do list?

Ask God what He thinks of what I'm doing with my life. Pay attention to this feeling; "there's something not quite right..." With family or self or whatever. What needs to change?

-If you can remember where you were when a promoting came, it probably is the spirit. Or if it's chastisement.

-Ask the Lord if He is happy with the way I spend time.

Matthew 23:23

-MAKE time for the Lord. Go to the temple.

-Have faith that we can get specific answers to prayers and questions.

-Dispatch angels to help people in earth and myself.

-21 days of sacrificing my time for family history and temple work

Every night at 9 do 10 minutes of th and go to the temple at least twice

-The scriptures are a manual for the temple. Study the scriptures and look for stuff about the temple.

Treat the temple as an iv. Let myself be attached to it and get life from it.  I must be attached to the vine (Christ) to handle my challenges.

Pray to fulfill the measure of my creation. To the mission he has in store for me. Things that may need to change:

Associates

Internet use

Social media

How I use my time

Education

Work

Temple use

News exposure

General conference is something I need to prepare for. It is a time when heaven and earth come together. It is Heavenly Father and Jesus speaking to me.

Sis Nelson taught is to repent and prepare in haste for the second coming.

Teach your children what it really means to be a child of god. Teach them how to pray. Heavenly Father wants a morning hug and kiss and greeting. They don't need to be long or fancy.

Understand About Christ:

His mission--to bring salvation and immortality

His ministry

Daddys read scriptures to the children.

Read the proclamation as a family and understand it.

Give correction ocassionally. And only in private and lovingly, quietly. In public, praise them. Find and point out their strengths.

Teach them to be missionaries. Teach them to focus in the temple. Bring the kids to tithing setttlement. Give them money and teach them to pay tithing. Teach them about education. When they get bad grades, encourage them and tell them to keep trying. 

Hr bkessed us

To be god neighbors. To have warm and eowceful and invitijng homes

To deast on the word

Is was a bkessing, not a commandment

Take heed

34 ¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares

I think it's important for me to remember this in my life. It has to do with my p blessing too, where it says that I don't need to know a lot of things that are current in the earth...

Serve

President Hinckley in chapter 14 days that the greatest antidote to selfishness, loneliness, so on, is service. Serve others with an eye single to the glory of God and your body and heart and soul will be filled with light.

Art thou greater than He?

Adversity helps us be better friend and family members and examples because it teaches us how to empathize.
