Knowledge through Old Testament


A) When you find out that you have enemies working against you to destroy and control you, it is not a feeling of joy that comes over a person. It is a feeling of trouble and internal conflict. What shall be done? What shall I do? These are all thoughts and expressions that one will express, and that one was Habakkuk. The Lord was going to allow these Chaldeans to take over the land of Israel, the land of the Jews inheritance. No feelings of joy would be expressed if that was going to happen to any person or group of people.
 b) The Lord is marvelous in his ways of communication with man. He speaks to us in many ways. All of his forms of communication are directed for his children to learn and understand the ways to return back to Him. As children of God we have at our disposal the scriptures in over 90 languages, the Prophet with his Apostles who speaks to us every month and also on a larger scale twice a year. We have the opportunity to have a little-piece of heaven with us once we are baptized, which is known as the Holy Ghost.
The knowledge that God allows each of us to have when we enter this life is very minute. While we gain knowledge and wisdom through our earthly sojourn, we begin to grasp small concepts of eternity. Only After this life, will we truly understand what the Lord expects of each of us.  
I love this gospel, and the blessings that Lord gives me and my family. We are expecting, and I am so blessed that the Lord has blessed us with one of his children.

Daniel and the Lion "Class assignment"


Read Daniel 6:1–24 and record your answers to the following questions:
• Why was Daniel preferred by Darius and the Lord?
-He had an excellent spirit.
He prayed three times a day to the God of Israel, facing Jerusalem.

• What indications are there that King Darius had faith in the Lord?
-       He told Daniel that he believed that the God of Israel will save him.
-       The king fasted for Daniel
-       He was the first one to be there
• How did the king describe the Lord in his decree to the people?
He described the God of Israel that he is a living god and that he does wonders things to deliver his servants.
“I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the aliving God, and bstedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not becdestroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
 27 He adelivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath bdelivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

• What encouragement do these accounts give to you as you strive to live the gospel?
It is interesting, because Daniel knew what was going to happen to him if he got caught and he prayer any way. He feared God more than many and that is the most important thing. To remember that God will save those that Love and serve him. As long as I serve and love the Lord he will help me in my trials.

So I haven’t really updated the blog on what has been going on the last few months, besides my class assignments I have posted. I started a new job in October. I work now at the Library on base. I really love it. It is difficult at times, but I enjoy what I do. Helping people with topics that they are trying to understand and lead them to answers.  I have been able to read many new books that I wouldn’t have thought of reading before. 

The holidays were not too bad. We spent Thanksgiving with friends from the ward. They had a party and it was fun being with many great people. Christmas, Jeff had to work, so I spent most of the time at home watching Christmas movies. When Jeff came home, we had a nice dinner. This was our first Holiday season together as a married couple. Last year would have been our first, but Jeff was at basic training. On New Year Eve we went again to that friend from church’s house and they had a party there again. Got to Love Hampton Ward and their members crazy parties, Jeff and I fit in way to well, it is funny.

Now the beginning of the year, Jeff is on nights till March, so some weeks Sammie and I sleep on the bed to keep one another company. Jeff bought me Pepper-Spray to care with me when I walk Sammie at night, just in case.  I first thought he was CRAZY, but now I have come to appreciate it and love the thoughtful gesture for my safety. So I work 30-38 hours a week during the day and do homework in the evening. Jeff sleeps all day and works in the evening. So when we do get to spend time with each other it is precious to me. I will say I am selfish when it comes to spending time with my husband, but I think right now I have a right to be.

Sammie is doing well, and he likes having one on one time with us. I feel better about not leaving him home all 
day by himself.  Sammie and Jeff are best buddies, and they love playing rough house with each other.  

I just want to say to all my friends that had their babies in the last few months. CONGRATS! I am so excited for you all and love seeing the pictures on Facebook.
