I was asked by the Stake RS presidency to conduct an experiment in my life over the next 4 months that would help me grow closer to Christ. I've thought about this and one thing I want to focus on is becoming more like him. We learned about some Christlike attributes in RS a couple of weeks ago and I've been thinking a lot about them. The last couple of months have been a little darker than normal for me. . . dealing with helping Hurley overcome some anxiety issues, dealing with my own worries about everything, facing a lot of responsibilities, and overall just trying to be a good mom and wife and remain positive, being everyone's cheerleader. As we were learning about Christ's attributes, I wondered if maybe I strove to be a little more like him, and focused on him a little more in my life, if maybe I could bring more light in to my life.
I'm still not completely sure all of the attributes I'm going to study and work on, but I know the first one is going to be faith. My testimony could certainly always be stronger. I know I struggle with doubt in my life. It starts off as doubting my abilities, my thoughts, etc and then sometimes translates in to bigger things.
So, this week I'm going to study faith. I'm going to study faith in Jesus Christ's life and I'm going to read some general authorities comments on faith. To help apply this in my life, I'm going to say more personal prayers. I think if I want the confirmations of truth, I need to try harder to openly converse with my Heavenly Father.
