Don't step around

I have this goal.

I want to see how many days in a row,

I can study and ponder the scriptures.

Not just read them.

I want to really know what the Lord is teaching me.

I always feel so determined when I start.

I usually put a day 1.

Then a day 2.

And I might get all the way to day 4.

Then I miss a day or 2.

So I don't write day anything.

Then I miss a few months,

because I have spent them in UT, and didn't have the room to bring all my scripture study equipment.

So I write a smallish day 1,

and start the cycle all over again.

I'm trying to get back into a rhythm.

I was reading 1 Nephi chapter 19.

Verse 7 says:

I am not a trampler.

I know what is of great worth to me and my family,

both body and soul.

I don't trample...

I was talking to Brian about this scripture and he said:

"Don't step around them either"

My husband says some profound things.

Some.

And this was one of them.

I don't trample.

But I might do some stepping around.

Guess what.

I got sick.

I missed a few days...again.

But I'm not discouraged.

Here is to another day 1!
