No Doubt About It

Yeah, Congratulations to me for finishing a book! Last night I finally finished No Doubt About It by Sheri Dew. Awesome book! Must read! Her insights and testimony about the gospel are DEEP. That woman is special, valiant & strong. I love her sacred point of view of the various roles of womanhood. I felt empowered after reading each chapter. I can't believe it took me so long to read it. When I first picked it up I jammed through 100 pages in 2 days. Then set it on my book shelf for like a year. Just recently I picked it up again and wondered why in the world did I put this book down. That's a major problem for me. I'm great at starting books but have a hard time finishing them. I still have about 10 more books on my shelf that I started and hadn't finished. I love to read books that I'm inspired to read. I have to feel that they will benefit my life some how. So in short, I don't like reading fiction books. I'm excited to pick up the next book on my shelf because I know I will learn something new and my life will improve in some way. Now I just got to decide which one.

Monica said...: I have the same problem that you do, it take me forever to finish a book. It is either stay up all night, or read while I'm driving the kids to their next thing.; December 16, 2008 at 3:28 PM

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
