Scripture Power

They say if you want a task done you should give it to a busy person. If that were true- then I should have been able to get A LOT done last week. I wasn't a little busy, but so busy that I felt like I was drowning in to-dos.

On top of our regular duties for church one of our friends from North Carolina came to stay so, I tried to take him sightseeing and made sure he had a  home cooked meal each night. I was asked to decorate my cousin's wedding with a week's notice, a good friend needed a specialty cake made for her brother's missionary farewell, a dean went on bereavement leave at work which meant picking up her extra work, my senior marking was due for moderation, we fed the missionaries and  I am still trying to train for my half marathon.

There were days, like yesterday, when I came home and literally fell on the bed and went to sleep.
But, what is amazing about my week is that I didn't feel stressed or burnt out! (my hubby might have a different opinion). And as cheesy as it sounds, I really feel it was because I studied my scriptures every day.

Spoiler alert- I suck at reading my scriptures and struggle to make scripture reading a daily habit.
But somehow, I have found myself in my scriptures  every morning this week. When situations arose that would usually annoy me, I quickly lost the desire to be angry or get upset. I only wanted to behave and react in a way that would please my Heavenly Father.

It's amazing what you can accomplish with God's help!

So I want to hear from you, how has the Book of Mormon helped you?
