What I learned this week in Week 6 I love the famous Scripture found in James 1:5 (if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him). In talking to my brother who is a seminary teacher he taught me what it truely meant to lack wisdom. I thought his definition was spot on. He said what it meant to lack wisdom was to lack knowledge and understanding. So when I went and put those 2 words back into the verse it made such a difference for me. If you lack knowledge and understanding, let him ask of God. I think this is so important. There is so much I lack and as I was reading this week it made me reflect back to the talk given by E. Larry E. Lawrence of the 70 entitled "What Lack I yet" that I have absolutely loved. I have realized that there is so much that I lack that I still need to ask God about. What is something you feel you lack that you could ask Heavenly Father about?

Week 5 Sharing it Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth Links to an external site. , and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. I love this scripture because it has sure shown the truth of that so many times in my life. There will be times when I go to ask for a Priesthood blessing and without even telling the brother why the Lord will come through and Chastise me for something I'm either not doing or for something I have already done wrong previously. I never in 1 million years would've thought that the Lord would chastise me or reprimand me for something I'm not doing (that) in all reality I should already be doing. I'll share a personal example here but not long ago I had asked for a blessing for something my heart has longed to know the answer to for years. However, instead the 1st thing that the Lord instructed me to do or (rather) reprimanded me for was for not reading my scriptures. No kidding that's the 1st thing that the Lord always chastises...

Philippians 2:4 This week I was reading in Philippians 2:4 ( Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others). I learned so much this week, between reading and listening to conference talks, that I need to be better at my stewardship of service. In a lot of the talks during conference, it was mentioned. This week, I was reading Philippians 2:4 (Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others). I learned a lot this week, from reading and listening to conference talks, about how I need to improve my stewardship of service. During many of the conference talks, there was mention of reaching out to the 1 in Love and service. I realize that it was a kind of correction from my Savior for not being a better Ministering Sister. I know I am far from perfect in ministering, but this week I really want to work on checking in more with my sisters. I know there are probably many people who could use me or whom I could reach out ...

This week in Religion class I learned so much about the scriptures and how they connect to one another. For Example 2nd Corinthians 5:6-8 and Proverbs 3:5-6 really connect to one another. This was so fascinating to me. I also personally learned a lot about myself and my personal relationship with the Savior. I am nowhere near perfect but the more I get into the scriptures the more I am learning and starting to really understand. I love the opportunity I have had to really dive into the New Testament this semester. This is not typically a book I would think or get excited about reading. I would encourage others to really consider reading the New Testament as it teaches us a lot about the Savior Jesus Christ.

What I have Learned this week in Religion For this week, I have learned about how I can be a better disciple of Christ. I have learned that I have to rely on the spirit to teach me how to be a better disciple. One of my very favorite scriptures from this weeks reading was Acts 20:34. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I love that it talks about ministering. I know that in my ward right now ministering is not really a thing. People just don't love ministering which is really sad because that is exactly what Christ did when he was on the earth. He was always willing to serve those around Him. This week has taught me that I can be a better disciple through my ministering unto others.

Things learned in Religion Class this week One of the most important things I feel like I learned this week was that no matter who we are now or what we have done, there is always forgiveness (Per a post from a classmate). I 100% agree with my classmate on this comment. There have been some extremely difficult things these last few years that my family has had to endure but thankfully through the loving grace of our Savior one of my family members was able to return to the church and return to the covenant path. It doesn't matter what this person has done in their past to me it's important that they are who they are now because of the repentance process. Because of the Love of our dear Savior my family is an eternal family once more.
