Faith..

Brian and I have been trying really hard to read our scriptures and say our prayers every night. I was inspired by the visiting teaching message this month and am trying very hard to study and learn more from the scriptures. I have this handy little app on my phone that puts a different scripture of my phone screen every day. We've been using those scriptures as a guide for us to study. I don't do well with just reading straight through. I need a topic. So we've been doing that, and it's been rocking. I love the way I feel when I read them, and reading them with my hubby has made it that much more special. The topic that keeps coming up is faith. This is how I know that Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways. If I need to keep reminding myself about anything, it's faith. I keep questioning and getting frustrated about so many things. I keep thinking so many things are impossible and nothing is going to go right for me. But then I remember to have faith and I feel so much better.

Ether 12:6

And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

I have faith that:

* I will be able to get pregnant. (infertility suuuucks.)

* I will get a teaching job THIS YEAR!

* Brian will get his promotion that is long over due (sometime soon hopefully)

It's hard, I'll admit that I struggle with these things every day, some more than others. I give myself hot flashes over them. Does that ever happen to you? Like when someone asks you a question and you werent listen so you're embarassed and everyone is looking at you.. yeah, that type of hot flash.

 

Ether 12:30- For the brother of Jared said unto the mountain Zerin, Remove—and it was removed. And if he had not had faith it would not have moved; wherefore thou workest after men have faith.

 

faith first. results later.
