1 Nephi 10-11

Posted 03-06-2009 at 12:29 AM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

I had a hard time getting into tonight's reading. Aside from that, here are my thougts.

1. Will I ever understand the scattering and gathering of Israel as it compares to an olive tree? (This was part of why I had such a hard time paying attention to the reading.)

I felt the Spirit so strongly as I read these two chapters. I have read this story so many times and every time I learn something new. This time the impressions were as follows:

1. I want to experience what Lehi experienced. How does one really go about obtaining this?

1 Nephi 5-7

1. I find it fascinating that Lehi validates Sariah's grief when she thought she had lost her sons. He didn't scold her for being unfaithful. He simply stated that he understood her frustrations and then comforted her w/ his testimony, thus, allowing her to strengthen her own.

1 Nephi 3-4

I was reading these chapters today and wanted to comment on what I learned.

1. Even though Laman and Lemuel were told that going back to Jerusalem to get the brass plates was a commandment they never actually believed it. On the other hand, Nephi recognized it as a commandment from...

A "Mom" Ah-ha Moment

Posted 12-29-2008 at 03:20 PM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

The other night I was talking to DH and my 2 eldest about their feelings when I'm on the phone. When we got done talking we were all in agreement and everybody left happy and heard (including me) because we had talked about how we were feeling, why we do what we do, and when we do it. Everything was...

Better Late Than Never

Posted 10-29-2008 at 01:22 PM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

I'm just processing some thoughts so never mind my ramblings.

People have tried to teach me for years, it seems, to love my kids while disciplining them. Today I think I understand what that means.

When I was a young mother, and very new to the job, I would make my children...

It grows on you after a while....

Posted 07-08-2008 at 10:53 PM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

I went to get my hair cut the other day and when I walked in a disgusting song was just beginning to play on the radio. The store associate helping me looked at another store associate and said, "I can't listen to this song one more time today." I asked her if it was the song I thought it...

I got my nails taken off.

Posted 06-13-2008 at 12:17 PM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

Almost four months ago BS took all of our kids (I was still pregnant) up to see my mom for the weekend. During that time I decided to have a pedicure done. While at the salon I decided to have my nails done just for fun. Due to time commitment and cost in up-keep for nails in the past, I've never...

A Repentant Man

Posted 02-17-2008 at 12:00 AM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

Last September I wrote a blog (A Day of Healing) that talked about how hurtful it was that BS wouldn't celebrate or even acknowledge me on special occasions and events throughout the year.

I am happy to report that not only is he repenting (this is the term he chooses to use), but he's...

Service is simply thinking outside yourself

Posted 02-05-2008 at 08:30 AM by 5ft Diva (5ft Diva's Blog)

A teenage boy bore his testimony on Sunday about service and he talked about how he had learned that in order to stop thinking of himself he had to start thinking of others. It was as simple as that.

Sometimes when I think of serving others I think of the American Red Cross or Humanitarian...
