As I Am

As I read:

What manner of men ought ye to be?

Verily I say unto you, EVEN AS I AM

3 Nephi 27:27

I am taught to liken the scriptures

unto myself.

Throughout this Journey,

the author mentions

"Walking by the SIDE of the Savior"

I picture in my mind

an informal dialogue.

Me: I don't know how many times I have tried and failed.

Him: Failed whom?

Me: Everyone...I am further from where I once was and the desire, motivation and drive is buried so deep that I can't find it.

Him: Are you still trying?

Me: Yes

Him: Then you haven't failed. As long as you keep getting up...keep reaching out for me,

then you have not failed. Do you remember your favorite passage in Isaiah?

Me: Yes...

Him: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts...

Me: and your ways are not my ways...yes I remember.

Him: Stop trying to force your ways. Worry more about what I think

and less about what others think. My ways are kind, gentle, sweet and I promise

as we walk together all those other opinions

will fall into place.

Me: Even my little family? 

Him: Especially your little family.

Me: I just do not know who I am and what I am supposed to me.

Him:Yes you do, Rebecca. You are a daughter of God

Me:

Him:

EVEN AS I AM
