"I love to read the scriptures"

For the past 3 months I have diligently read the scriptures. I have missed the occasional Saturday, which I am working on NOT doing, but for the most part have read every day. I love the peace that the scriptures bring to me. I love the answers and the rush of the spirit that comes from reading every day. I have the blessing of taking Nick and Caitlyn to Seminary every morning(Seminary is an early morning class that teens can take. In Seminary they study a certain Book of Scripture for the entire school year. They can Study the Old Testament, The New Testament, The Book or Mormon and The Doctrine and Covenants)  In doing so, I usually have time in the mornings to read while I wait for them. For the past month, Nate has been working and I have taken him to work in my morning routine as well. As we sit and wait for the time to pass before he has to go to work (because I take him at the same time I take Nick and Caitlyn) I will pull out my scriptures and read then as well. I have been reading in The Book Of Mormon and just finished it on Monday. I decided I wanted to see if I could read it one more time before the end of the year, which is going to be a bigger task, but it can be done :) I will keep you posted on my progress.
I really fell in love with the Book of Moroni, which is the last book in The Book of Mormon. I love Moroni's words on Faith and Hope and Charity. What a blessing that has been right now.
If you are finding yourself discouraged, in need of a boost, read the words of Moroni about having hope. It reminds me of President Uchtdorfs talk on Hope  http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=25c5a0ad4843d110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&vgnextoid=f318118dd536c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD
or Elder Hollands talk on Safety for the Soul

How grateful I am for living prophets and apostles who teach us and who give us the lifelines we need to hold on to to make it through the muck of the world. Sometimes it is muddled and sometimes it is joyful. Either way, I have found great peace and strength through reading the scriptures.
In closing this post, let me share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs :

Clive Romney, “Scripture Power,” Friend, Oct 1987, 10–11

1. Because I want to be like the Savior, and I can,
I’m reading His instructions, I’m following His plan.
Because I want the power His word will give to me,
I’m changing how I live, I’m changing what I’ll be.

2. I’ll find the sword of truth in each scripture that I learn.
I’ll take the shield of faith from these pages that I turn.
I’ll wear each vital part of the armor of the Lord,
And fight my daily battles, and win a great reward.

[Chorus]
Scripture power keeps me safe from sin.
Scripture power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Ev’ryday I need
The power that I get each time I read.

Marvelous this plan of our Fathers in which he blesses us for even the smallest of efforts in our daily lives. If you have not read your scriptures today then...what are you waiting for??
