This morning, I had the thought, “What does it mean to be baptized by fire?” I love that when I have a seemingly random thought, there are reliable sources of information like scriptures and prayer to find the answers. I was also led to a book I read about a year ago and flipped open to another seemingly random page that added to my divine tutoring.

My profound thought today during our 90-second meditation was that I am so grateful for a husband and family who understand me and allow me to be free to be me. I know there are marriage and family situations where stress, ridicule and even abuse may make it difficult to be free to explore and ponder subjects of interest.

Pondering invites peace. When we don’t understand a subject, we can feel agitated or ignorant. Listening with the humble intent to learn is opening the door to understanding and connecting the puzzle pieces to see the whole big picture.

Coleen, on our call told of how her grandson was trying to learn a new skill. She so desperately wanted to give him a nudge in the right direction, but knew that his success on his own would be so much more valued than if she did it for him. And he did it! Through her patience and his perseverance, he did it!

I am sure this is similar to how our Heavenly Father patiently waits for us to ponder on a subject, then quietly allows us to find our way, giving us little hints of the direction to go, but also giving us freedom to explore and understand at our own pace. So that when the light of understanding dawns, we feel successful, bringing confidence and security within our own knowledge and wisdom, having acted on the whispered hints that our pondering has created space for.
