I heard the phrase, "Take Time to be Holy" a few weeks ago and it has really stuck with me. For the past several years, I have read scriptures with my family in the evening and Justin and I have read scriptures on and off through the years, but I have not done personal scripture study in quite some time. When I heard this phrase coupled with another one, "If you don't have time to pray and read your scriptures daily, you are more busy than God ever intended you to be," I am feeling prompted that I need to spend some personal time with the Lord every day.
I read on Pinterest about a Women in the Scriptures Challenge (see link on the side) and I am ready to do it. I got a fresh new Book of Mormon and started reading the first few chapters and I am marking everything to do with women with a pink highlighter. I even wrote my name on the inside cover and wrote below it, "Women in the Scriptures" so I would always know that this Book of Mormon is the one I followed the women in.
I am also going to try and watch better television. I have been watching Desperate Housewives and shows like the Bachelor Pad which are entertaining to be sure, but probably don't bring the best spirit in me and in my home. It's time to make better decisions and behave in a more righteous way.
