Melchizedek

So I have had the privilege to study about Melchizedek in my class this week. And holy cow have I learned a ton. So Melchizedek was a man that was highly favored. He was righteous, strong,very obedient and loving towards God. Melchizedek means "king of righteousness, Which fits because he was very righteous in his doings.He is also though to be Shem the son of Noah because there lives seem so similar and would fit together so easily. Crazy right?! Although we don't know much of Melchizedek it is really great knowing more than I did. There are times I realize that I don't know much details about the little things that I hear or read about almost daily. But as I have been studying and expanding my thoughts and knowledge I have come to know and love the little thing that much more. We are so blessed to have this Gospel and all the people in it that have blessed or will bless our lives. I am thankful for Melchizedek for his example and leadership; we have all been deeply blessed thanks to his desires and obedience.

Its been a while

So its been while since i have written on this thing. Sadly my Old Testament class is what is motivating me to write today. I read in Genesis 4-11 and Moses 5-7 and I just really enjoyed it. It's funny how your class reading can be revelation to what you need.. The described men at the time to Enoch and as I red it I cringed. Reading aloud I could picture the Lord explaining with sadness in His voice and tears in His eyes. His children Who He once loved were far from Him physically and spiritually. They did not answer His calls but turned away from Him and His love. It made so sad because I see so many like that today s well; members and non members. When Enoch was called he felt un worthy and unable and that's how I felt when I was called to serve and how i feel when I try and serve or help or share the gospel today, But I love the response that the Lord gave Enoch. Which was basically... Hey I called you, what do you have to worry about, I will tell you what to say and be there every step of the way. I like Enoch have felt this so much in my life. I can remember on the mission there was time that I felt so in acquitted. I felt stretched like never before. So stretched that I thought about breaking and giving up. But I can remember somehow having that faith and energy and love to keep going. Even though i felt so stretched that I thought I would snap, I didn't, NEVER not even once. He always blessed me and helped me. I know that God loves us, He really knows us. He calls us to do certain things that are hard but that only we can do. And when we do them were not alone but forever accompanied. Enoch is great example of walking with God. He obeyed and He fallowed. God leads us if we so choose to accept it or not is our decision. I know that if we fallow and listen we will find happiness and peace. I want to be like Enoch I want to obey and preach. I know my mouth will be filled and I know that I will be lead to where I need to go.
