A New Path

I have recently started with the Pathways program through The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.  I am a very busy mom and I also drive for the school district. My first assignments already have me in state of anxiety. No one wants to fail or even intends too when they first start college! My first assignment in my FDREL class, which is the religion portion was to pick an attribute for this upcoming years " Becoming Project" I choose Faith and I guess I need to learn it! I have not gotten my assignments in on time as of yet, and not on purpose. My understanding of when things are due has been completely wrong.  Time to move forward...

My Becoming Project  will be in line with Obedience. Obedience is a topic discussed all over the scriptures. Both in The Bible and in The Book Of Mormon, the concept of Obedience seems to be taught in almost every chapter, n some form. We are a people of action. Doing, Following, Obeying.
One of my favorite scripture is in Nephi Chapter 3 verse 7.

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: Iwill go and do the things which the Lord hathcommanded, for I know that the Lord giveth nocommandments unto the children of 
men,save shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which
he commandeth them.  

This scripture has always given me faith and hope. To know that are task my be hard but not impossible through the Lord. He will give us away to accomplish all things he ask of us.  However even prior to this we learn in Nephi Chapter 2  we learn of the murmuring of Lamen and Lemual. Nephi chose not to murmur and just Obey his father, Through his attitude of obedience we learn that he was able to get his own confirmation of the things his father had told them He was able to open his heart and ask for himself if the things that his father where telling them to do were true.  

I hope to remember the example of Neph and choose not to murmur when given a task or told to do an assignment. With taking the time to be obeisant I can accomplished more than I realize. 

He is to a better week and a great "Beocming Proect"
