Passion for knowledge.....

I've never had the passion or reading......
To be honest, I have never read the B OF M all the way through...
Ive tried.....I could probably recite 1st and 2nd Nephi to you.  lol
.
.
My word for the year is "REACH".
Remember?
Reach for Education-----
Funny how this all came about.
on Instagram @bofm365 is the NEATEST thing to follow.
Who ever created it, I want to hug them to death!
.
They post daily what we need to read in the scriptures, and then everyone comments about what they read and what it means to them!
I cry every morning when I do my scripture study....
I am filling up my scripture pages too fast, I have had to carry around a book of Mormon journal I created to add additional notes.
What I feel when I read the comments from everyone's experiences blows me away.
My heart wants to jump out of my chest...
I feel the passion, the love and the EXCITMENT of everyone doing this together.
Strangers all over the world, helping each other learn more about our savior.
.
.
.
So---------I am addicted!!!!
NO, LIKE way addicted.
What I have felt in my home the last week I can't even explain.
.
.
.
House of order
House of calmness
House of peace
And a house that is protected!
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 

 
So-----if you aren't following them on Insta....
Do it now!
NO need to catch up, just start today!
Oh and then follow me too-----lol and say HI!
