A Challenge

I am planning on trying something. I feel a need to do something. But will I be able to do it because it is such a challenge?

I heard about reading the Book of Mormon in 90 days 3 times. That is once for every 30 days, 18 pages a day. Each time has a different purpose and a different colored pencil for underlining and such. The first time is to learn of the people of old to see how God deals with them and so on. You use a regular pencil for underlining and write questions and notes in the margin. The second time is to read and underline in red all scriptures that relate to Christ and the atonement and so on. The third time is to like the scripture unto yourself. To see what God wants you to see, know and understand. At the end of each month, you write your testimony on the blank pages at the end of the book.

On top of that I am looking at the YW Personal Progress book. My bishop's suggestion. We had talked about how easy it is to remember who we are when we are told so much that we are daughters of God and how we tend to forget that when we get older. I think in some part of my mind the title daughter went to my daughters and somewhere I lost that privilege. You forget how important you are when you are not constantly reminded. I told my daughter that I felt that in part, the Young Women's program helped me to have a better self-esteem than I would have without it. I knew who I was and I felt special. Somewhere I lost that feeling so I am planning to work on it. I also thought I should look for my old personal progress book and show it to my daughters, I am pretty sure I still have it somewhere. I hope I do.

I am waiting till June to start the Book of Mormon challenge since I have invited others, but I am ready. I have my Book of Mormon and pencils already. Till then I will work on personal progress just like the young women. Does this mean I am going through a mid-life crisis? :)
