Hear Him from Christofferson

Christofferson's "Hear Him" article on the Church's website had some good reminders. 

One thing is when I'm writing in my scripture journal or just pondering in general, I can and should ask, "Is there more? Have I captured it all?"

Another thing I thought of is how when I get feelings that might be promptings...like not going to the farmers market on Saturday...I can pull over, quietly pray, ponder over it, and ask God for help in knowing what to do. That way I'll hopefully get better at recognizing the Spirit. I feel like I can kind of tell when it's the Spirit warning me. It's a dark feeling that won't go away. It came and went with one thing, though: law school. And from that I learned how closely I must stay to the Spirit in order to ward off that feeling. I do always have a little wonder if I wasn't supposed to do it. If I'm not supposed to be in law school. And that's just sickening to me. Like right now, I'm reading the scriptures, and that's usually when the feeling goes away, but it's not really going away today. Maybe I'll pray. 

Update: a few days after this post I was praying in the car and felt this: "Why am I trusting in stuff I've heard from people about the Spirit? about how the Spirit communicates? about how the Spirit communicates with them? God has told me in the way I need to know. He's given me the revelation I need to know." I feel that he's told me I need to be diligent in staying close to him, or I just have no chance. 

Last thing i loved is he said we can ask for the spiritual gift of faith to get better at this all.
