Enlisting Help

For the past probably 5 years I've had the same NY's resolution. Okay, "Have more patience" is also always there, but that's a work in progress. And if I'm going to be honest with myself, it will probably always be on the list. But the one that's plagued me for the past few years is becoming a devoted scripture reader. Namely "Read personal scriptures everyday". We do family scripture study almost everyday and I'm grateful for it and I'm always hoping the kids are getting something out of it, but it's a little lacking in the "spiritual upliftment" area (probably another good thing to add to the list).

So, being a girl that likes accomplishing my goals (and tired of failure), I had a great idea for ensuring success. I asked Emma if she wanted to have scripture study with me every single night of the year-even on vacations. She'll be turning 12 in about a month and starting YW's so it will help start her on the right track with Personal Progress too! Pretty brilliant right?

So far, we've been loving our little one-on-one time at night :) I'm going to try and come up with ways to make it fun throughout the year. I know our testimonies will grow and I love knowing that this year, as she grows, changes, starts Jr High (!!it can't be!!), we'll always have quiet time at night to talk and reflect. Hopefully it will help us keep our close relationship (I was NOT a fun child at 12 and my mother can vouch for that). Also, help her maintain perspective and be spiritually armed for whatever comes her way.

I could always use more of that myself.

So I'll be reporting back in a year!

What's your resolution for 2012?
