-my little blue book-

Who could have known that such a little book could hold so many great things?

Tales of adventure, battle, peace, and comfort. Stories of my dear Savior and His precious teachings.

That little blue book that I can turn to when I'm struggling or when I'm not. I can look to a book for answers to my heavenward pleas.
I pray to seek help and when I open my little blue book I receive comfort in the words, I receive answers.
The little blue book, is my Book of Mormon. Another testament of my Savior and Brother, Jesus Christ.

A book that testifies that He lives. A book that testifies that I have a heavenly home. A book that testifies that I have a Heavenly Father, who loves me unconditionally. And I love Him because I know He will not leave me comfort less, He will not leave my side, for He is always there.

Words can not adequately describe my dear Father in Heaven, and His Only Begotten Son. The same Son who suffered for me on the cross. The same Son who knows my heart, and knows each of my pains, because He has experienced them Himself.

My little blue book, my Book of Mormon, testifies of these things. And I know without a doubt that it's teachings are true. I know that I am a Daughter of God. And I know that Joseph Smith restored the gospel upon this earth. And for that I am eternally grateful.
I love my little blue book.

June 30th, 2013 I set out to read the Book of Mormon by myself for the second time. Today March 13th, 2014 I finished the last chapter of Moroni. I finished the Book of Mormon. Most nights I would read a chapter sometimes two, each night I would mark my favorite verses and write them down in a scripture journal. Each night I would learn things I didn't know. Each night I would find comfort, even when I was sure comfort was no where to be found.

If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, I personally invite you to do so.
Moroni 10:4-5 reads, 
"And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent. having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost. 
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
