Faith # 2

I chose to work on the personal progress value experience number 2 under Faith because I happened to be on the train headed to work and was only carrying my Book of Mormon. This is one of the experiences that only referenced the Book of Mormon rather than other scriptures.

Perhaps it was more than that though; perhaps I needed a kick start to thinking about motherhood and faith.

I am not sure that I have taught my children like the mothers of the "stripling warriors". I need to focus on this because I want them both to have enough faith to be strong while facing the worldly temptations all around. The stripling warriors knew that the Lord would be with them. They knew because of the things that their mothers taught them.

The importance of a mother's role could never be so apparent as it is to me, on this day. I want my kids to believe like the stripling warriors did. I want my kids to know that I love the Lord and have faith that He is always with me - through the trials and the good times. I want them to know that the Lord can be with them too.

I know that I was guided to work on this particular value experience first for a reason. I know that was the influence of my Heavenly Father.
