Wondering . . . .

Ever wonder what would happen to your life if you stopped reading the scriptures? Not because you chose to but life got busy. Busy with a baby, busy with a new place, busy, busy, busy. Why is it when we get so busy we tend to forget some of the little things that keep us so close to God? I've never forgotten my prayers. Ever. They are too vital for me to talk to my Heavenly Father. Tell him I need a friend, ask for a chance to serve, or how I can best teach the gospel to my little one. I've never forgotten to say my prayers. Reading those beautiful words which are found in the scriptures is another story. I realized the other day that it's been too long since I've picked up those comforting, guiding words and let the Spirit fill me.

Lately I've been feeling quite agitated inside and I couldn't quite place a finger on it. I tried to find comfort in books and music. The peaceful feeling that was once so strong and comforting seemed but a wavering thread. I then realized that I have had a hit and miss reading sessions with my scriptures since my little one was born almost two and half years ago. Too long. Too long I have let things slide and slip. Too long have I longed for the closeness I had when I read everyday.

So last night I picked up my precious scriptures and read until I couldn't keep my eyes open. This morning was complete bliss as I felt peace within. Only then did I realize how much I was missing out and how much I needed those words.

May we all resolve to read a little more of God's words each day so that we may be enlightened, comforted, and have peace within during times of storm.

Today I resolve to read 10 minutes everyday. You may be reading a few things I find and learn mixed among the normalcies of our life as I delve and rediscover God's words.
