Repeating

As I have been reading each day. I go back to Allison's entry about the new Gospel Principles lesson manual, and how she had some people complain that it was basic and they learn it so many times. As I have been reading in the scriptures you could say that they have been repeated. I don't know how many times I have seen, "Follow the Commandments," "Come unto Christ." How many times the atonement has been brought up, and many other things. I think that in our lives with the way of the world and our views being attacked at times, we need to have things repeated over and over. I know also that I was growing up, I sometimes did not pay close enough attention as I probably should have to lessons in Sunday School or Seminary. Even now with Hannah in Relief Society and Sunday School it is harder to pay attention. I have been praying for added knowledge of the church and to be able to understand the scriptures more. I have also been working with Jeff since we got married to better understand the scriptures and the history of our church. This scripture challenge has already brought me so much knowledge and now it is perfect timing for this Gospel Principles manual to come out for the basics but some of the most important things of the church. I know that I will learn a lot and at the end of this year I will have a greater knowledge of the church. I believe that 2010 is going to be a growing year for me and a year to strengthen my testimony even more.
