Walk with Christ

 In Relief Society we had a lesson on studying the scriptures and applying them in our own lives.  A handout was given for a 14 day walk with Christ.  I started doing it yesterday and debated whether this would be a proper forum to share it, but I have perceived that most of you who read my blog would be very receptive to it.  So I've decided to place it out here, anyway.  This is not a challenge to you readers, rather a sharing of my own personal experiences.  However, if you decide you want to do your own 14 day walk with Christ, I welcome you to join me.  I will post the challenge each day and if my experiences are appropriate to share, I will share them.  Some may be simply too personal to post here.

14 DAY WALK WITH CHRIST

Day 1(April 7, 2011 - for me)

How can I follow in His steps?

Read:
1 Peter 2:21 – “For hereunto were ye called:  because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” 
Moroni 7:48 – “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; That when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.  Amen.”

Ponder: 
How can I follow in Christ’s steps today?  In all my decisions I will ask:  What would Jesus do?

(4/8/11)  I confess I did not think constantly of Christ through the day yesterday and did not totally walk in His steps.  But I did try to help others, to be of service, to share His love some of the time.  I could do better.

            At Roundtable I watched as one leader came into the cultural hall and took a couple of chairs.  A minute later she was back taking more.  I kept thinking, “Now she probably has enough.”  But then she’d be back for more. Right from the start I felt like I should ask if I could help her, but I kept putting it off by rationalizing she was done.  Finally, as she was making her eighth trip or so for two more chairs, I went and asked if she needed more chairs . She told me that now she probably had enough.  Thanks anyway. 

            I think Christ would not have waited to ask.
