2023 December 27, Wednesday, Journal Entry

Yesterday was the wedding anniversary of my parents. I'm grateful that they were able to make a family with me being a part of it. I would like to get more involved in family history along with my efforts at temple work. Today after my term as an Ordinance Worker I have reserved time to do five Initiatory ordinances. I will already be dressed in temple clothes and it's just a few steps to the Initiatory ordinance area so why not?

Yesterday was a non-binding day. As we set out to go to breakfast I noticed a beautiful full moon setting in the west.

Come Follow Me 

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

"Brothers and sisters, just one year ago our dear prophet asked: “Are you willing to let God prevail in your life? … Are you willing to let whatever He needs you to do take precedence over every other ambition?” I humbly add to those prophetic inquiries: “Will you let God be the author and finisher of your story?”

In Revelation we learn that we will stand before God and be judged out of the books of life, according to our works.

We will be judged by our book of life. We can choose to write a comfortable narrative for ourselves. Or we can allow the Master Author and Finisher to write our story with us, letting the role He needs us to play take precedence over other ambitions.

Let Christ be the author and finisher of your story!"
