21 Days Closer to Christ

I have started yet another blog. It is more for me than anything else, but I welcome you to follow my journey to become closer to my Savior. To view the blog, please click HERE.

Below is my first post:

Things have become a little crazy in my life lately. With the addition of another child, my husband starting a second job as well as school, and me just trying to keep my head above water keeping house, I have lost sight of what is really important. I have neglected my scripture study and it's not uncommon for me to skip saying my personal prayers for a day or two.

My testimony of the Savior is not wavering at all, but it sure could use some strengthening. I am one who needs structure in order to get something done. If I plan a party, there are spreadsheets, notebooks and photo examples of decorations and recipes, but if planned correctly - it turns out quite spectacular. I figure strengthening my testimony and getting back to the basics of the gospel should be no different...but where should I start?

While at Time Out for Women I purchased a book called 21 Days Closer to Christ by Emily Freeman. Each day there is an invitation to read specific scriptures as well as a step in the "journey". The idea is that after reading this book, becoming better acquainted with scriptures about Christ, and completing each step in the journey, you will become closer to Christ.

So there you have it! It's all laid out for me in a book containing uplifting stories, beautiful artwork and an invitation to come closer to Christ. You're welcome to follow me in this journey if you wish. I will post the scriptures and the step in the journey each day and then my thoughts about them.

Be sure to read from bottom to top so you can follow my journey in the correct order.
