This hit home

Alma 32

I couldn't help but think as I read this chapter today of my joy in the journey of being single, yet hoping for my dream to come true of a little family of my own someday.

It really hit home.

This is what Alma taught me:

-Arouse my faculties and experiment.
Be willing to believe that "he" is out there, and that God has that in store for me.

-Don't cast it out because of my unbelief.
Just because sometimes things don't work out with dates, etc...doesn't mean it isn't going to happen.

-Recognize when I feel that the seed is good.
Pay attention to times I feel great and positive about life and the future. Be grateful for those days!

-Nourish the seed with great care--don't neglect it. Have faith, patience, looking forward to the fruit.
Do everything possible on my end for my future.

-Reap the rewards of my faith, diligence, patience, & long-suffering-wait for the tree to bring forth fruit.
Realize that when the time is right, HE will make it happen, and that blessing will come into my life.

This chapter hit me like it never has.

So interesting how the scriptures do that. :)
