I was reading in Alma, and one of the chapters (I can't remember which) was Alma talking to the people. The scriptures were really meaningful to me, and so I started replacing any time he referred to the people with my name, and it was really cool. It helped me learn that I can relate the scriptures to me, and that it helped me set some goals. I am definitely going to continue relating scriptures to my life in different ways.

That is so awesome McKenna! I did the same thing a few years ago in Alma chapter 5. Starting in verse 14 he asks some really important questions and so I went through and read all those questions as if he were asking me, and I really pondered each questions and really thought about the answers I would give. I think I even wrote the questions and my answers down. It was really an incredible experience. I need to get back to doing that - putting my name in and really relating the scriptures to myself.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it says to do that in personal progress, I did it and it was really cool. This time it was in a different chapter, and I thought I would try it again. It really helps me relate the scriptures to my life.
