Life's Journey To Perfection: September 2016

Ponderize Week 50: Moses 1:39

To see previous week's "ponderizing" Scriptures click HERE.

Choose the Scripture:

When I was trying to decide how I would choose scriptures, I decided that I would do the Book of Mormon Mastery Scriptures. I loved doing these as a youth and grew so much, I decided that it was about time I do them again. It's great because they are all chosen for me, they have "Context", "Doctrine or Principle" and "Application" to get me thinking. After ponderizing for 25 weeks I have finished the Book of Mormon Mastery Scriptures. Then I moved onto New Testament Mastery Scriptures, which we just finished last week. So what's next?? I decided to go back in history and do the Old Testament Mastery Scriptures. Here is a link to the Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery List, a link to the New Testament Mastery Scriptures and a link to the Old Testament Mastery Scriptures.

Youth Standards Night: My Experiment with Scripture Study, Prayer and the Holy Ghost

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support! See the full disclosure.

As we began planning for our Youth Standard's Night, I was so excited when I found Judy Cooley to come and speak to us. I had seen her gorgeous paintings of the youth dressed in the armor of God and knew that she would be perfect for the evening. My thoughts were confirmed as I spoke with her on the phone, of what she might speak about!

The morning of Standard's night Judy asked me if I would take part in a little experiment and then share my experience that night during Standards Night, of course I agreed. The day though was filled with crazy busyness and I soon started to worry about when I would be able to do what she had asked me to do. There was a moment, between the children getting home from school, having to fix dinner and get my son to his game, that I was able to sneak away to accomplish my task.
