This past week has felt really long. I think mostly because it is the first time since the 5th grade where my life has not been crazy busy. Going to school part time and still on the hunt for a job has given me a great deal of time and it has been difficult to feel accomplished or like I am progressing towards something.
In my scripture study this week, I came across Alma 7:22-23. It says:
22 And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that i might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.'
This scripture really reminded me of my duty to Heavenly Father. Though it may seem like I have a lot of free time on my hands, there are so many things that I must do to improve myself and to please my father in heaven. It is really important for me to use this time to strengthen my testimony as well as my relationship with my Savior. I am going to do all that I can to better myself by going to the temple more, studying my scriptures and praying as much as I can, and serving those around me.
