I got side tracked for about a week and a half with my challenge because I was asked to speak in church on Christ-like characteristics. There were 9-10 attributes highlighted and I chose to focus on HOPE. It's my favorite word in the English language, for obvious reasons. It was wonderful to delve deep into hope; true hope. Sometime I'll share some of my thoughts, but for now I want to record my updated 40 day LET GO & GROW challenge I modified just a bit.
A few times a year I take a social media break. But often I returned shortly thereafter missing the void I'd created. I realized that instead of just taking something OUT, I have to FILL it with something positive. It's been a WONDERFUL experience. It turns out that about a month after I started the prophet admonished us to do something similar. Although one of my goals has been to highlight the New Testament, we were asked to highlight the Book of Mormon and read it in less than a month. It just so happens that I had bought a new "journal" edition of the Book of Mormon and another copy of the New Testament. So, I may modify that as well (my 40 by 40 goal).
