This Week's Spiritual Favorites

I have not been on this blog in over a year. I recently have felt a sudden rejuvenation when it comes to my spiritual understanding and growth. I have read a few amazing articles that have opened my eyes and explained elements of the Gospel that I didn't understand before. I have decided I am going to try to write a week in review of My Spiritual Favorites from my readings to help me remember these favorites.

1) The article "An Answer for Every 'What If?' " in the Dec. 2011 Ensign.
After getting another negative on my pregnancy test I was very upset. I read this article and it really hit me how the answer to my "What if we never have any more children?" It is okay because I am blessed with a loving family. I am super happy and know God's eternal plan and as long as I do what I am supposed to not only will I be with my family forever but opportunities will be given to us in eternity that we may not have here on earth.




2) The article "His Grace is Sufficient" in the BYU January Magazine.

This article was amazing! It has been so hard for me to understand how you can love everyone and not judge people. Also how can so many people be good active members in the church but struggle with so many things. I didn't understand. This article explained it all to me. Jesus Christ saved us all. No matter how we act on this Earth we will be resurrected in our bodies. But by living the commandments we are allowing Jesus to bless us with grace everyday and allowing him to help us to work to the highest degree of glory in the eternities. We are actually showing his gratitude by obeying him. He explains how we need this time on Earth to practice so we will be ready to live an eternal life of purity and joy. If we don't practice now we wont be ready for it later.

Well this is a start. I hope you have read these articles and if you haven't please do! I really LOVE them and am so grateful to our Heavenly Father for not closing the Heavens but for loving us so much that he kept the lines of communication open with prayer and his Prophet and Apostles on the Earth today.
