We all live in a busy, busy world and we all have different needs/wants and pressures/demands and there is no denying that sometimes we just can't find the time!
We often make excuses as to why we didn't have the time to read our scriptures this morning, or to attend the entire Sunday Service or get ready for school before seminary... we all do it. I do it all the time too!
But one thing I have found that helps me make time is this awesome app that my old housemate found. (It can be found here.) And the reason it is making my very first post is because it's the Scriptures!
But not just the Scriptures but the manuals, the resource material, the general conference talks, extra bits n pieces to be used in talks or lessons too. It has highlighters, the capabilities to make your own notes and references on a single verse, chapter book etc. It is amazing.
Then when I updated it today it got better!
You can now LISTEN to the sciptures off this very same app! (I know this sounds like a sales pitch but I'm just really excited!)
My husband and I met with the missionaries about a week ago now and they challenged us to read and pray together each day. (My husband is also a member, but like me, not an active one for some time.) And this is where the time piece comes back into it. He works closer to home but is gone before I even get up, I work on the other side of town, ahve school and excercise classes and well, never shall the two meet kind of thing... sadly. And my husband is also not an avid reader... or a reader of any sort for that matter. And especially not keen on the idea of reading together...
So when I asked him today about listening to them he agreed, he said it was "way less awkward." and because it is on my phone we have no reason to not be able to do it! (unless my phone is dead...)
So this little app has given my family the means to grow together in the Spirit, which is important to me. I really want us (my husband and I) to be right in our ways/lifestyle before we start having kids. And like everything in life... baby steps. You need to take it one step at a time...
First Step: Read and Pray together daily.
