CFM The Book of Mormon: Alma 18:1-21 & General Conference Goals

LDSGirlDoes Come Follow Me: Early morning study and reflection on The Book of Mormon. Obedience is not blind obedience.
Name of the Week: Prince of Peace
Hymn of the Week: I Need Thee Every Hour
In the same vein of our New Testament challenge we're going to carry on with likening the scriptures to us, finding the passages that speak to us and creating statements that will help us incorporate those verses into our daily lives. We're also going to focus on Christ-like attributes. Each month focuses on a specific attribute of Christ such as hope, faith, charity, long-suffering. Each month that will be the focus of the scripture study to find those attributes of Christ in the scripture or how to develop them. On the weeks where there's not enough scripture study to make it possible to have enough meat each day to study we'll be supplementing in conference talks that have to do with the Christ-like attribute of the month. I have selected three talks per attribute but sometimes there will be more than 3 talks per month. I've left those to your choosing. You can choose a talk based on the Christ-like attribute of that month or whatever you're feeling you would like to supplement.

🎉 General Conference Goals 🎉
During General Conference I like to set goals for the next 6 months. In the April Conference it was impressed upon me that I need to strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, improve my prayers, to learn my covenants and to "live inside them." To achieve these goals I've set a plan that I believe Heavenly Father has guided me towards.
⭐First Goals: Is to study the names of Christ that I have found while doing my personal scripture study. Each Sunday I will randomly pick from a list I have created, study all I can about it, and pray that name back to Him. If it's "Deliverer", for example then I will call Jesus and Heavenly Father "My Deliverer" in my prayers and look for ways He/They are that to me each day.
⭐ Second Goal: Is to pray a hymn. One day while listening to hymns I was like "That's a prayer. I wish I could pray like that." So, I've gone through the hymnal and TH-cam subscriber suggestions and picked 24 hymns I would love to model my prayers after. I will be listening to these hymns, praying them and finding ways to incorporate their meanings into my prayer life.
⭐Third Goal: Is to go learn my covenants and "live inside them." In the most basic sense I know what the covenants I've made with Heavenly Father are but in Conference I felt the inspiration to really learn what they are and to incorporate those principles more deliberately in my life. I'll start on this one once I get a handle on the other two.
If you would like to join me in these goals I would be so honored! If you want the lists I've created you can email me and I can send you a digital copy. Thank you for joining me on my journey!

Good morning😎 I picked verse 10 for obedience. Ammon was faithful and because he was faithful he did what he needed to do without reservation. He was brave and courageous. How I hope to be like that someday.

Verse 17- 17 I say unto you, what is it, that thy marvelings are so great? Behold, I am a man, and am thy servant; therefore, whatsoever thou desirest which is right, that will I do. I like the part about whatsoever thou desirest which is rightness- I will do.

You do a great job! And thank you for your time. It’s a good way to start off a day by listening to you.

Thank you 😊 I appreciate you watching

I have a quote from President Ezra Taft Benson on my wall. It has been a great reminder about Obedience. "When obedience ceases to be an irritant: and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with powers."❤😊❤

@@judymacc oh my gosh! That's an amazing quote! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@kerrymclerran219]

You’re right, this reading is all about obedience and what can be accomplished with it. If people are going to listen to your message or your counsel they need to respect you first. Ammon clearly knew this.

[@ldsgirldoes3966]

Agreed 😁
