Holy ghost

Based on Rasband's talk, I need to ask for the HG each day and live worthy of Him.  I need to think about the Savior so I can have the HG with me. Also I need to have faith that the HG will give me promptings throughout the day to help me. And then I need to act on them, as though it were an emergency and I were a first responder. As though the Lord were relying on me.

The lord helps those who help themselves

Today's scripture reading was cool because i remembered to ask the question, "What doctrine is being taught?" And I learned and enjoyed it all more. Here it was.

Mormon 2. Mormon led his armies and sometimed they had success. But either way they were left to their own strength because they were unrighteous and didn't seek the Lord. He can't help those who don't help themselves. And people can experience success without him, but not spiritual.

Motherhood

Motherhood thus becomes a holy calling, a sacred dedication for carrying out the Lord's plans.

Studying by faith

The reason it is important to study with faith is because that is how learning becomes knowledge. Also because it shows that we acknowledge that God know all things and knows them perfectly, and having faith allows him to teach us those things or to improve or become perfect about certain things.

Agency in gospel learning

Self reliant gospel learner

“let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me” (see Jeremiah 9:23–24).

What doctrine is being taught in these verses, and what do I learn about that doctrine?
Where and when have I seen this gospel principle effectively applied?
What do I learn about Heavenly Father and His plan for my happiness?
What do I learn about Jesus Christ and His Atonement?
What does the Lord want me to learn from this?
What inspired thoughts and feelings am I receiving as I read?
Is there something here that helps me with a current challenge in my life?
What do I learn that will help me live from day to day?

Parenting without anger

Think about where the anger is coming from. Is it actually another emotion? Like stress? Lack of sleep? Etc.

Think about the kid as a newborn before you yell at him. I wouldn't yell at the newborn. So don't yell at the kid.

Ask them to help you with how you're feeling and tell them how you are feeling. 

Think about what you think the perfect parent is. Then forget about it.... Focus on doing your best and slowly improving and keeping them alive.

Holiness

I want to increase the holiness in my home. That requires that I

Increase my own holiness.
Sit at the feet of the Savior.
Give time to holiness. Set aside my phone and my to do list.
Do and say and think things that invite the Spirit as my companion.
Develop Christlike attributes
Realize and remember my dependence on the Lord
