Sections 29-41

This group for some reason seemed a little on the harder side for me to read.  I think that there was just so much information I just got over loaded.  They are mainly short sections but I had a really hard time focusing today.

There has been a lot in the past reading groups about repentince .. I am now starting to sound really reptitive by talking about that.  It is really importent though.  These words are for us, and that is something that the poeple of our generation need to hear.  We have been told to preach repentince to the world.  That is something that we need to know in this time of day.  We need not to be procrastinating the day of our repentince. 
We are reminded that as long as we repent we can continue being blessed.  And the warning of the trails and had times that are ahead for those who dont repent.  It was also a "wow" moment to sit there and read what will happen to the sinners in the last days.

Speaking of the last days it talked about the signs that we will have for those days.  The sun stops giving light, the moon blood red, wars and roomers of war, and a few other things.  It reminded me of a song that we sang last winter in choir.  It was something that sister Ashby wrote herself, the words she did take, I think she said, from the D&C most likely these sections.  It really was a great song, we hated it while we were learning it, but once we started singing it the true meaning came out to us.  It is crazy sometimes how the spirit works.
These section talk a lot about missionary work.  So havesting the feild, preaching repentince. 

Also fearing.  You cannot have faith and also be in fear.  When you fear you loose all your faith.  Fear is being in compleat darkeness and thinking you have no way out, you let the devil in when you fear.  But with the faith, you know everything will be ok, so why fear, you have no reason too.  You cannot fear and have faith at the same time.  When you let fear in you let all your faith go gone.  (in my blog "Erin's Escape" I wrote a blog on this.  I think I titled it Faith vs Fear, or something like that)

They also talk about remeber who you savior is.




34:1. ...hearken and hear and behold what I, the Lord God, shall say unto you, even Jesus Christ your Redeemer; 2 The light and the life of the world, a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not; 3 Who so loved the world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the sons of God. Wherefore you are my son; 4 And blessed are you because you have believed;

He is my light and my life. I would be lost without him. I know in the dark I can call upon him and in the dark he will lead me out.
