Mosiah 25-26

Chapter 25

I love the first and last parts of verse 10… “When they thought of the immediate goodness of God and his power...they did raise their voices and give thanks to God.”

It’s too often that I forget all of my little blessings. Really? I am such a lame-o. Today was just a rough day. I woke up feeling gross, my hair looked nasty, my skin has broken out, my stomach… well let’s not even go there. Put that together with nothing to wear except an oversized sweatshirt and jeans I loathe… Needless to say, I felt real pretty. I held back tears several times while sitting at my desk, I left early and just slept all afternoon. Sarah came home and really did help me feel better. And I went to volunteer as a mentor at an elementary school, which also helped in forgetting myself. But Satan is so good at bringing bad feelings back. He’s an evil evil being. I need to stop and remember the immediate goodness of God. I have an amazing roommate and friend in Sarah. I have food, clothes, a house, a family who does really love me, and adopted Utah family who does love me too. I am grateful for all of my blessings, and I need to be better at expressing that gratitude. Like in my blessing, it tells me to be thankful for the very breathe that I have. If nothing else seems good in my life, at least I am ALIVE right?? I need to stop being such a baby all the time!!

Chapter 26 verse 30

“Yea, and as often as my people repent, will I forgive them their trespasses against me.”

I love that it says AS OFTEN AS. No matter how many times we sin, the Lord will ALWAYS let us repent. ALWAYS. And if we are sincere in our repentance He will ALWAYS forgive us! What a great blessing!! It’s such a comfort to know that no matter what I do, how bad I mess up, I can always fix it.
