Hope your last sentence is accurate!!!! (‘Waiting for life to awake!’)

My Response:

Of course – mostly we slumber in this life – mundane things like making a living – playing games – unreal is the reality of what is found in the Scriptures – to the point most don’t believe what they read rather to believe what others tell them. Thus many believe nothing – for if what they’re told ‘doesn’t make sense’ they forget then it most likely not true. Thus these otherwise honest people slumber!

This is only our 2^nd Estate – mortality – where we’ve been given the agency to obey or not. Yet when we came here we covenanted to obey. The agreement was between us and Father. Then we were told by the Son – we’ve to endure to the end (given not just to the Apostles but to all of us). Thus waiting for life to awake would be partly the enduring to the end – but also understanding it means to have eternal life via our obedience. Those who keep their covenants will awaken to eternal life to be with the Father and the Son – their families generations without end.

Understand that this life is to be lived – alive – seeking further light and knowledge – conversing with the truth within the world – but not part of it.

Smile – the last sentence is accurate – most will never understand it – some do! The Father and the Son love us dearly – we’re to love them the same – we do this through total obedience to their Commandments – for years I searched for this understanding – knowing if the Scriptures were true (which I read at age 11) – then I’d find what they told me to look for. It took many years – but find it I did – most know me to be extremely through and I was. Thus my life awoke my waiting was over – to share this most important truth has been my mission ever since. Smile again – most who believe me to be truthful in all things still are reluctant due to worldly pressures to believe this one truth.  c

“Waiting for Life to Awake”

5/5/17

Yawning into the sleepy morning

sliding from sleep to conscious

kneeling in prayer of thanks

wanting still to know more

seeking light and knowledge

what am I here to be doing

eternal life to be fueling

covenanting with a pledge

opening many a new door

filling in the still many blanks

able to give others warning!
