This week i'd just like to share some thoughts :)

prayer and scripture study!

All my life I have learned those two words always go together, but it hasn't been until recently that  I've started to actually understand how powerful they are together.

Prayer requires effort. anyone can say words into thin air but it takes your heart and a special focus to be able to communicate with your Heavenly Father.

Scripture study we all know is essential. but what really counts as "study"? something that has really hit me hard lately is the concept of pondering. Ya'll know I love anat and phys so here is a body analogy.
vocab: Nourish: it enters your cells
Reading without purpose is like eating fiber... yes it goes in your body! but your body doesn't receive as much nourishment from it, it's job is just to help hold you over until the next time you eat.
Pondering/ reading with a purpose is like eating spinach! you get so much more essential nutrients out of it! 

i know that as we prayerfully PONDER scriptures and really communicate to Heavenly Father you will come to understand who He is and who Jesus Christ is. You will not be following blindly because you will know who you are following.

I love the scriptures!!

Love you all!! :)
