Be Exactly Obedient.....

Hey momma!! I love you! i hope that you never forget that. :) so thank you for the quote, if nothing else, i have never been more humble in my life. humility is the key to success. as we are more humble to the lord than he pours out blessings on us. and the best blessing other than the holy ghost is knowledge. the apostles do know their stuff  i want to throw some numbers at you :) Steven R Covey said that if you read for 20 minutes a day, than you will achieve exaltation. so lets do a little math on this. there are 10080 minutes in a week, and if you read 20 minutes a day that is 140 minutes. that means the lord is only asking us to give him 1.38% of our lives to the lord. and the promise of exaltation is 100% of everything that the lord has. WOW!!!!! That shows how much the lord really loves us, he wants 1.38% of our lives and that is all he wants. so on a mission we give him 100% of our time for 2 years. so if you do the math on that, if you study the scriptues or give 20 minutes to the lord every day for 80 years, you would be at 55% of what we devote to the lord. so it will take close to 160 years to give as much time to the lord as faithful obedient missionaries do. Here is one of my favorite qoutes. " Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracle." that was said by our mission president at the beginning of my mission 6 months ago. And i promise that that is true because i have done it and i have seen how it works. as i have been exactly obedient to the lord, he has blessed me with helping others lives. If you want a miracle be exactly obedient to everything that the lord asks of us. i love you momma!!! :)
