We're really getting into things this week!

"Come, Follow Me" is structured a lot differently for the Doctrine and Covenants this year than it was for the Book of Mormon last year and I'm pretty excited about some of the new stuff that's out there. In all honesty, it might have been structured the same way the last time we did this book and I missed it, but I'm not going to miss it this time!

I've created two different checklists for this week. You can download either (or both) of them at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-january-6-12/

Plan A is very simple and really only has related content Monday through Thursday. I've linked back to Family Search: Record My Story for Friday and Saturday.

Plan B has more! We're still only averaging about 14 minutes every day (which is totally doable!) and we'll learn a lot more.

Pick your plan or create your own. Whatever works for you. If you're just getting started and you're determined to make it through the Doctrine and Covenants this year – GOOD FOR YOU! Plan A is a great way to get started without overwhelming yourself. 

If you're ready to push yourself a bit, check out Plan B. 14 minutes a day isn't too much of a push and will be totally worth it!

Thanks for being here!!

Hi Everyone!

We get to start learning more about Church history this year and this week's focus is on the restoration. We get to talk about revelation - both for the Church (as it comes through the Prophet) and personal - the revelation we get for our own lives.

You can find the linked checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-december-30-january-5-2025/ 

Here's what my week looks like - please share yours!

#ScriptureStudy #ComeFollowMe2024 #BookOfMormonStudies #BookOfMormonStories

We're getting so close to the end of the Book of Mormon!

This week is super light - only one thing to read, listen to, or study each night. My breakdown looks like this:

•    Monday: Ether 12
•    Tuesday: Ether 13
•    Wednesday: Ether 14
•    Thursday: Ether 15
•    Friday: "Christ Is Risen; Faith In Him Will Move Mountains," Russell M. Nelson
•    Saturday: "A Perfect Brightness of Hope," Jeffrey R. Holland

See what I mean? Super light this week. That must mean that all of these things are packed with really important stuff and that there's something a bit heavy for us to get out of it.

Thanks for hanging out with me!

"The Greatest among You," Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Welcome to another inspiring session! Today, we're exploring President Oaks' impactful talk, "Two Great Commandments," from the 2019 Women's General Conference. In this episode, you'll discover how to maintain a balance between loving God wholeheartedly and embracing our neighbors with compassion and respect, especially amid today's societal challenges.

President Oaks offers guidance on prioritizing our love for God while encouraging us to extend kindness to everyone, including the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing that our devotion to divine laws remains paramount. We’ll look into how these teachings apply to our daily interactions and the pivotal role women play in spiritual growth and influence.

Join me in discussing how we can harmonize faith and love in our lives, nurture our spiritual paths, and uplift those around us. This conversation isn't just for the faithful; it's for anyone seeking to enrich their understanding and practice of love and kindness in daily life.

Thank you for being part of this journey. If you find this discussion enlightening, please like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's continue to learn and grow together with open hearts and peaceful minds. Until next time, keep spreading positivity and be of good cheer!
