Today I started Reading the Book of Mormon. I mean I'm really gonna read it. Not like a "chapter a day kind of reading. Like a "I am obsessed with this book and can't put it down" kind of way. My goal is to read 88 pages a day. I read 46.5 before lunch, and in just a little bit I'm gonna get back to it.

1 Nephi 9:6

"But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is Amen."

While reading this mourning, this is the scripture which stood out to me. Evidence of the truthfullness of this statement is shown through out the beginnings of the Book of Mormon. The whole fact that the book exists is evidence of this.

Heavenly Father is much wiser than we are. He is much stronger than we are. It is silly that we so often disobey him, yet we do. It is silly that we so often do not want his input and think we are fine on our own when our individual knowledge is just a fraction of his understanding.

Heavenly father has blessed us so much. He has lead so many to safety. He wants to continually bless us and protect us. That is why he gave us the commandments. That is why he inspires leaders to teach and guide us.

Heavenly Father is just that, a heavenly father. We could not have a better father than him.

I am so grateful for my many blessings, and the guidance he desires to give me.

Love you all,
Erin
