Ok this is what I have completed in the last couple of weeks.....
Divine Nature #2 and #3
#2 was about appreciation for womanhood. I read through
the Proclamation to the world,and every time I read it I am
more amazed by how inspired it is. I really needed this experience
because I'd been having a really hard time "loving" being at home
with the kids all the time. After doing this experience I realized
that I had a lot more things to do at home then just be here and
care for the kids. Also that this is the most important thing I can be
doing with my life right now... nobody could replace me in my
children's lives. Also I can do so much better than I have been
doing and I have recommitted myself to my choice.
# 3 was about making home better. For 2 weeks your suppose to
make an effort to improve your families life. Instead of focusing on
one person I made an effort to pray for my family members individually
each night. This was really good for me because I was having a difficult
time "liking" some of my family lately and it was really good for me to try
see them for everything good that they offer in my life. I did make a
special effort to make sure that I told Kory every day how much I loved
him and thank him for all the little things that he does for me.
this experience had a really big effect on me and I have found myself
less likely to stay angry at my family and to try to see harder what it
is that could be causing them to say and do the things that they do.
I have also tried to be more aware of the things that I say and have
tried to be more sensitive to others... hopefully I can keep trying.
Individual Worth #1 and #3......
I completed #1 and #3 in Individual Worth It was really nice.
#1 was about knowing that I am a daughter of God. I was really
good to do just because sometimes you need to be reminded
that you are loved even when things don't go your way. The
Lord knows what is going on and he can see much farther
ahead than I can and sometimes I just need to except that
he knows better than I do.
#3 is about noticing the worthwhile qualities of others....
this has been hard to remember to do. But the funny
part is that When I've found myself being negative about
someone lately "worthwhile qualities" has popped into
my head and I've reminded my myself to look for the
things they have that are good.
Choice and Accountability #3 is about Agency
I just did this one today and I was really good
to thing about the choices I have made. I am
grateful that for the most part the big choices
in my life have been good and Heavenly Father
has always been there to help me make them. I know
that he will continue ti be there to help me make
any choice that I can't make alone. Plus he sent me a
good family and a good husband who will all help me make
the right choices.
Good Works #1 Record of service
For this experience I kept a record of good works
that My family members have done for the last 2 weeks.
I have yet to write them the little notes that I need to in
order to let them know that their little acts of service don't
go unnoticed. I was amazed at how much my family serves
me with out even knowing it. They are all such good examples
to me!
I also Completed 2 virtue experiences ......
#1 is about chasity and purity. Once again I read the Proclamation
to the world, which is always great. I really don't struggle with chasity
but purity is more broad. The one thing I really thought of was how
to be a good example to my daughters in purity and how to stress
the importance of chasity to them. I think that if I follow the words
of the proclamation and of the prophets and just teach the girls that
what the Prophet says is important then everything will be okay.
#2 was about virtuous living. It talked about how the spirit will not
dwell in and unclean temple and I related it to myself and to my living
space. It's important that I keep myself physically and spiritually clean
as well as the spaces around me.
Anyway that's what I've completed lately.... I'm more than 1/2
way done but I know reading the BOM for the virtue Project is
going to take a while.... Love you all!
