Grateful for Nephi's story of going back to Jerusalem to get the plates. So many golden nuggets within this journey for Nephi.  
1- The LORD always prepares a way for his commandments to be accomplished!
2 - This was also a good reminder to me that the Lord gives me personal commandments through personal revelation as to the things he has for me to accomplish.
3 - Nephi faced MUCH opposition as he took action to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.  (Laban trying to kill Laman, Laban stealing all their gold & silver, Laban wanting all of the brethren killed, Laman & Lemuel speaking harsh words and beating with a stick).
4 - Nephi was sorrowful after his first unsuccessful attempt @ obtaining the plates.
5 - Laman & Lemuel are perceiving the problem at hand with EARTHLY vision that is based in FEAR.

I am so happy and grateful for the opportunities networking has brought into my new business Trusting Divinity.  I am also grateful for the deepened friendships that have been developed with fellow BOOM chapter members.  I allow my Heavenly Father to help me recognize individuals who can be SERVED by the skills of those chapter members and am ever grateful for ALL the goodness brought into my life through networking.  I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the chapter as the Vice President and pray to serve in a meaningful way.  I am also grateful for the abundance of time I've had to work on my 6 week bootcamp curriculum and am grateful for the impact it is having in the live of heavenly father's children.  I am thrilled to have a call with Felicia & my gold group today and look forward for the opportunity to keep moving forward toward my dreams!

Gratitude - 

Today I am grateful to recognize that it is the healing & enabling gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ that will allow me to overcome my food addictions.  He will enable me to let go of old habits and patterns and HE will help me to see me as He sees me!  He is my strength.  He is MY REASON WHY.  He is the one who will help me to cement new healthy habits and patterns into my routine allowing me to BECOME ALL that I am meant to be.  He is the light, the life & the way to cleansing the inner vessel and moving from good to even better.  I am grateful for this journey and grateful for the spirit of God who brings so many messages of light and truth into my soul.

I am grateful for my dear mother.  I am grateful for her love and concern for me and I am grateful for the opportunity to strive to strengthen our relationship moving forward.  I recognize that I have been less than WHO I want to be in our relationship and am grateful for the opportunity to see things differently between us and move forward in love for her.

I am grateful for the beautiful gift of VISION my Heavenly Father has given to me.  I am eternally grateful for the year 2019 and ALL of the gifts this year keeps giving.  It has been a grand adventure full of difficult things but I am learning and I am growing and I am deepening my relationship with my Heavenly Father and with Jesus Christ and I am sooo grateful for that GIFT.  My VISION has literally transformed and I know that as I keep moving forward that gift of Vision has the ability to TRANSFORM ME!

I am grateful for the peace that Heaven is speaking to my soul right now in regards to money freedom.  I am coming to realize my faith would not really be tried in this journey if my bank account were filled to overflowing currently.  God is giving me opportunities to learn to trust him as my source and to KNOW he will provide.  I am grateful for his DIVINE plan and that HE KNOWS exactly what I need to come to know him more fully.

Today I spent time on my knees as well as time in 1 Nephi.  I was reminded again of the importance of GRATITUDE.  That we must recognize and be thankful for ALL the Lord has blessed us with even when he has just asked us to do something difficult!  The scriptures also discussed the importance of obedience to the commandments/laws of God. Sometimes when we do what God asks us to do it causes challenges to present themselves (ie.  Lehi prophesied unto the people destruction as he was commanded to do and in return the people wanted to take his life).  We murmur because we do not yet understand the dealings of our Creator.  What if everything that happens in this life is for our good??  If I want to know the mysteries of God I must cry unto him!

Set Today's Intention - 

I am so happy and grateful that I chose to be present for my family today as we celebrated the beginning of our eternal unit being sealed for time and eternity.  I am so grateful to have spent time in the holy temple with Mike being filled with the spirit of the Lord's house!  I also thoroughly enjoyed time with Mike and Oaklee at the movies!  I recognize that I am truly blessed with grand abundance to share my life with these two incredible souls.  I am one lucky gal to have a husband who is so supportive, loving and who believes in my dreams!  I am also one lucky momma to share this life with our sweet Oaklee gal!  I'm honored and humbled to be her mother.

Today I am grateful for the convenience of having an elliptical in my basement for me to get my exercise in first thing in the mornings!  I am grateful for the recognition and understanding of my body being a temple to house my spirit and am grateful for the journey to more abundant health.

I am grateful for the sealing power within the walls of the temples of God.  I am grateful for the gift of being sealed to my family for time and for all eternity!  I am grateful for the Lord's guidance and answers when I questioned whether or not to marry Mike.  I am grateful for the relationships that began and continued from that beautiful decision we made 6 years ago.  I am grateful to embrace this day in celebration of that decision!

I am grateful to be my own boss.  Grateful that I have the flexibility to do with my days what I want each and every day.  Grateful to recognize that I control my destiny and grateful to make the choice today to celebrate our family as we take time to spend this day together in remembrance of Sept 3, 2013.

I am also grateful for my time and money freedom!  I am grateful for the peace that comes as I lean in to my Heavenly Father and remember that HE is the SOURCE and that HE provides for me and my family.  I recognize that I would not be learning the lessons that I am if our emergency fund were overflowing and I'm grateful for the opportunity he is giving me to grow my trust in him.

September 2, 2019 - Daily Practice

Connect w/ Heaven - 

Today I spent time in the scriptures and reminded myself that just as Nephi, I am highly favored of the Lord.  My patriarchal blessing reminds me that high expectations were made of me in the pre-earth life and that I have important things to do here on this earth just as Nephi & others had made big commitments.  I'm done listening to the lies of Satan that maybe I have not been forgiven for past mistakes and I am choosing to believe in the promises of the Savior that as I repent of my sins, and say I'm sorry they truly are washed away and it is as though they never happened.  The power of our minds is truly incredible and I'm committed to retraining my brain to a higher level of thinking.  I am coming to understand more fully that it is through my thoughts & actions that I will have the power to cast Satan out.  As I choose to focus on the goodness of the Savior Jesus Christ and truly accept his gift for what it is, Satan will have less and less power over me.  Even as I type this, it's amazing how much Satan tries to get inside my head and tell me otherwise.  I am incredibly grateful for this journey I find myself on to better understand and use the atonement of Jesus Christ.  

I am also reminded that Nephi too had much affliction in his days on this earth.  It is just part of the process of this life.  The last few days have been pretty discouraging in my world and I have felt like Satan is winning.  I've been frustrated with myself feeling like I should be farther along than I am in this journey and frustrated that I'm not better at casting Satan out.  I'm not sure why the process of learning line upon line, precept on precept has been so challenging for me but as I have received further light along the way I just want more and more and more light and find it difficult when I feel darkness instead of light.  I'm also learning though that to recognize the light we must understand the dark.  Each time I find myself feeling surrounded by darkness I guess it gives me additional commitment to find a way back into the light because I know the light feels so much better than the dark.  I'm learning patience with myself in this journey and patience with the Lord.  I'm ever grateful to find myself on this path of learning my true worth!

Set Today's Intention - 

I am so happy and grateful that I stopped making excuses for WHY I couldn't get started on my 6 week program and just dove in.  I'm grateful for my bold steps of massive imperfect action that are propelling my dreams into being.  I am happy and grateful for the opportunity to cast Satan out of my life by moving forward with my divine purpose, taking bold action to move forward with my dreams.  I am happy and grateful as well for my recommitment to my health.  I know that having a healthy mind and body will make all the difference as I plug forward with my dreams!

Gratitude - 

I am grateful for the gift of my body that is capable of learning new patterns and new habits.  I am grateful for my commitment to new habits and new patterns and I am grateful to see my body as the temple that it truly is.  I am grateful for the home it is for my soul and my spirit and I am grateful for the journey I am on to renewed health.

I am grateful for the grand abundance ever present in my world.  The abundance is ever present and all encompassing.  I recognize the Lord's hand in all the world around me and today I am especially grateful for Mike.  He is my perfect match!  God certainly delivered an incredible gift when he led me to Mike.  Tomorrow we will celebrate 6 years of marriage and I am ever grateful for the man that he is.  He honors his priesthood, he serves the ward humbly and gracefully, he has unconditional love for me and for our sweet Oaklee.  He is truly a gift of abundance in my life and I am ever grateful for his grace in my world.  He stands at the head of our household righteously and I am ever grateful to my Father in Heaven for allowing me to be married to such an incredible man.

I am grateful for new opportunities in my career path.  Grateful to serve where I am currently and grateful for the growth that will come as I take action to share my talents NOW.  I am grateful that my Father in Heaven trusts me to help him gather souls in these the last days.  I am grateful for the opportunity to grow into the next best version of me through this process.

I am also grateful for my time and money freedom!  I am leaning in to promises that as we pay tithes and offerings our means will be stretched miraculously and we will never be in want.  I am grateful to be in control of my calendar and so looking forward to a week in Banff, Canada with Oaklee and Mike.  Can't wait to explore another area of this beautiful earth.
