Person Progress :Divine Nature

I am working on my Personal Progress and thought I would focus on these two goals. I'm going to focus on being a peacemaker since both of these goals line up together.

 

Develop your divine qualities. Read Matthew 5:9; John 15:12; Galatians 5:22–23; Colossians 3:12–17; 1 John 4:21; and Moroni 7:44–48. Memorize your favorite verse from one of these passages. Identify the divine qualities mentioned in all these scriptures and list them in your journal. Select one quality, and for two weeks strive to make it a part of your daily life. Record your progress and experiences in your journal.
___7. Learn the definition of the word peacemaker. Then find and read five scriptures that teach about peacemakers. Become an example of a peacemaker in your home and at school as you refrain from criticizing, complaining, or speaking unkindly to or about others. Pray each morning and evening to Heavenly Father for help to do this. After two weeks write in your journal what new habits you want to develop, how being a peacemaker is part of your divine nature, and how you will continue to be a peacemaker.

 

My initial thoughts on being a peacemaker are thus...I feel like being a peacemaker is one who does not join in idle gossip and tries to see the good in everybody. A peacemaker will give the benefit of the doubt and seeks the Lord's help in seeing people the way He sees them, as a child of God. We were not sent here to earth to fail miserably but to Succeed Gloriously.

 

 So what can I do to help my fellow brothers and sisters succeed gloriously?

 

I'm going to focus on service. I think that I can change lives for through showing love and service. I can soften hearts, ease burdens, and create long lasting relationships with people by giving myself to their needs.

 

More to come as I study this principal...

Mid life crisis?

There comes a time in your life when you have a midlife crisis and you do something that maybe you shouldn't have done. Well that's not really the case for me, haha, I decided to dye my hair red for Halloween. When I got the box I thought that it was a wash out but found out right before I did it that it was permanent. However, because I did already have the box of dye I thought to myself  "why not, I can always change it later". I dyed my hair red with the help of my neighbor Stacy Davis. I loved it. It was so much fun it was spunky it was just something completely different and random that I thought I would never do. I was able to dress up like a pirate with flaming red hair and I was able to dress up like Lucy Wild from Despicable Me 2. It perfectly completed both Jared's and me costumes . However, it started to wash out and then it turned pink. But I still liked that too.
