Ask, Seek, Knock

First and foremost, I would like to encourage you to think about, ask and answer the following questions either now or in your own time. "What is your definition of ask?" "What is your definition of seek?" and "What is your definition of knock?"

This post is based on October 2009 General Conference talk and it is called "Ask, Seek, Knock" by Russell M. Nelson. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8. 

"For each of you to receive revelation unique to your own needs and responsibilities, certain guidelines prevail. The Lord asks you to develop “faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God.”

Then with your firm “faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, [and] diligence,” you may ask, and you will receive; you may knock, and it will be opened unto you.

Revelation from God is always compatible with His eternal law. It never contradicts His doctrine. It is facilitated by proper reverence for Deity. The Master gave this instruction:

“I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

“Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

“… To them will I reveal all mysteries [and] my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.”

Revelation need not all come at once. It may be incremental. “Saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more.” Patience and perseverance are part of our eternal progression.

Prophets have described what they felt while receiving revelation. Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery reported that “the veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding were opened.”

President Joseph F. Smith wrote, “As I pondered over these things which are written, the eyes of my understanding were opened, and the Spirit of the Lord rested upon me.”

"be grateful."

Day 2: I am Grateful for Making New Goals. Why am I grateful for making new goals?

I am Grateful for Making New Goals because making new goals gives me time to think about, some goals gives me another chance to achieve, and sometimes I love making new goals.

I always make new goals at the start of each year. I always make new goals at the start of each month. I always make new goals at the start of each week. I always make new goals that is short-term goals, and I always make new goals that is long-term goals.

Sometimes I make new goals that is hard to achieve and that is easy to achieve. I strongly encourage you to think about, ask yourself and answer the following four questions either now
or in your own time.

"What do you do when you achieved a goal?" "Are you grateful for making new goals?"
"Do you like making new goals?" and "How often do you make new goals?"
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Day 11: I am Grateful for Overcoming Challenges. Why am I grateful for Overcoming Challenges?

I am Grateful for overcoming challenges because challenges is apart of our daily lives, overcoming challenges is a great feeling, overcoming challenges helps me to feel strong, and overcoming challenges helps me to become a better person.

We must admit, we all go through challenges and we all go through times to overcome challenges. It always takes time to overcome challenges. We shouldn't expect overcoming challenges is a easy thing to do.

I think overcoming challenges is a learning experience for everyone, I think overcoming challenges is to help everyone to become a stronger person, and I think overcoming challenges is to help everyone to become a better person than they were before facing the challenges. 

I encourage you to think about following questions and feel free to answer any of the questions in comments section below (if it isn't personal):

"Are you grateful for Overcoming Challenges?" "If so, why are you grateful for overcoming challenges?"

"Have you felt the difference between how you felt before facing the challenge to after facing the challenge?"

"What are you doing to overcome the challenges that you have?"

Stay tuned until next time.

Finally in Texas

This post is short and sweet. I recently arrived into Texas safely, and I'm very grateful that I'm finally here. I flew from Brisbane, airport to Los Angeles airport for twelve hours and forty-five minutes. I had total of four hours to five hours ish sleep. I was in Los Angeles airport for roughly three hours ish before I fly again. I flew from Los Angeles airport to Love Field, Dallas - Texas airport for two hours and forty minutes ish.

I may have experienced less sleep of total flying time but I did not experienced any jet-lag. I remembered being so worried before I flew out of Brisbane airport that I may experience jet-lag either during my layover at Los Angeles or sometime after I arrive at my final destination.

Some people mentioned to me that I may have been too excited and look forward to reunite with my boyfriend again. After all, I have not physically been with him since July 24th, this year. We both were ninety-nine days away from each other. I somehow did not recognized my boyfriend when he was at the airport to come and picked me up. I was so happy to be with him again.

Obviously; I do not share too much about my personal life on the blog because I do not wish to share too much information about my life and I would rather to keep a journal about my personal life. All is well.

I would highly recommend to check out the following website to watch any vlogs that I would be sharing during my time in Texas. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9GVNzwo6qWHy8znLT011wMZBoZwi-1fx

Happy belated Birthday to my boyfriend, I have arrived two days which seems to be that I was his greatest birthday gift for him.
