Have you started yet? Its not too late!

Two days into my/our reading challenge and I'm feeling great. How 'bout you?
Its quite sad actually how much I am not a consistent reader. Its so easy, especially as parents, to "count" family scripture reading as personal scripture reading. Dont get me wrong, family scripture study has been great - especially for Caitlyn - but everything gets discussed on a very juvenille level. Even in just the past two days I have rediscovered that I love to delve in, and study.
So, I am in Nephi 6. With my new calling in Young Womens I have found myself looking for the values in the scriptures, and they are really not hard to pick out. I am amazed at the faith that Nephi had. Not only just faith, but faith put in motion. He ACTED on his faith:
1 Nephi 4:6-7 - "And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless I went forth..."
Just as Nephi had faith, so did Lehi. He ACTED on his faith by moving his family, and once faith has be acted upon, we, just as they did, can build KNOWLEDGE
1Nephi 5 - "I know that the Lod will deliver my sons out of the hands of Laban..."

I feel like I am writing a talk. I just wanted to share what I have relearned over the past couple of days. It is amazing the information that you can get from the scriptures, and that is just the first few pages.

If you havent started yet, its not too late! Begin now! Feel free to discuss here what you have gotten from the reading. I would love to hear. I will be updating about my reading every couple of days, so check back often.

And a sweet shout out to Chad for doing this with me. It means a lot :)
