CFM The Book of Mormon: Alma Chapter 29

LDSGirlDoes Come Follow Me: Early morning study and reflection on The Book of Mormon. Fulfilling our callings brings us joy.
Name of the Week: My Fortress
Hymn of the Week: Lead Me to Eternal Life
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. If you'd like a free digital of the reading schedule I'm using feel free to email me at [e-mail]
🎉 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 ☀️Happy Sabbath! I picked verse 9 for my obedience verse. I love how Alma didn’t just follow the commandments but gloried in the commandments. His desire was to be an instrument in the hands of God and by doing so he gained much joy. This verse brings me back to that word “zeal” from chapter 26. I hope that I may be better at viewing the Lords commandments with eagerness and joy!❤️

Verse 1 has always been one of my favorites too. I remember singing a song titled Oh if I Were an Angel when I was on my mission. I like the way Alma follows this up with admitting that he should be content with what he has been given and what he has the ability to do.

Because you are doing the Lords work, I know He will guide you and his spirit will dwell with everyone in the class. If we do our part, He will do His. Because you prepared to the best of your ability, I know He will be with you.

@@naomilewis3308 thank you! The discussion went well. I felt like my thoughts were a little jumbled but everyone commented and caught the meaning of the discussion.

Verse 13- 13 Yea, and that same God did establish his church among them; yea, and that same God hath called me by a holy calling, to preach the word unto this people, and hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full. If we do what the Lord wants us to do through commandments and personal revelation we will have a fullness of Joy❤😊😂
