enlightenment...
i've had a lot of thoughts today about my strengths and weaknesses as a human being, and i'm feeling the weight of those many weaknesses. it's definitely a humbling experience to recognize my faults and even to have them pointed out to me, but i think that it is imperative if i want to progress in this life. i can't really put into words all the feelings that i've had for the past little while and i don't have enough time, but i basically feel very selfish and prideful. i thought i was doing well with learning and trying to better myself, but i've come to the realization that i can learn as much as i want but if i don't apply it, it is useless. my sincere apologies for the neglect and carelessness i have shown my dear friends and family. i will do better with balancing my focus to not just my own self-improvement, but to focus more on serving and showing love and concern to others.

and of course my scripture reading went hand-in-hand with my the happenings in my life... amazing how that happens!

2 Nephi 31:19-20...
"...after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of home, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upson the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."

ps... i love all the "if... then..." statements/promises in this chapter!
