Late is better than never :)
Reading the first few chapters if Nephi again made me some think about how I should fear God more than I fear man. In order to do this, I need to have total faith in God, and not care what men think. Even in scary situations, were I may get hurt emotionally by people, I need to remember that what God thinks of me is the most important thing. I thought about it this morning when I was working at the bookstore. There was no one there and the other employees were busy. I was hungry and wanted this little hersheys santa that was only 44 cents, but I didn't have any money on me. I asked if they could write it down and deduct it from my paycheck but they said no. It is such a cheesey example but I would've felt so guilty for sneaking that candy bar and eating that. Fearing God doesn't have to be in just monumental decisions. It is simple things too.

I am so proud of you, Emily, for resisting temptation and choosing the right. Sometimes the little challenges are even harder than the big ones!! Way to go!!
Thanks for pointing out that we can apply the lessons from the scriptures to seemingly small, everyday experiences. But it's the sum of making lots of good choices in small things that add up to greatness.
I agree Emily! Anyway, I think that rarely do people start committing big mistakes without first compromising their standards on the little things.
