RESULTS:

  1. I actually ate more than just one meal on most days because I had the food ready!
  2. I ate healthier
  3. I didn't go to chick-fil-a / cougar eat much - spent less money
  4. I wasted less food - trying to portion
  5. I shared some extra food with friends
  6. I learned some new vegetarian dishes I like!
  7. I cut down on wasteful wrappings - I even bought a lunch box to use instead of a ziploc bag/grocery bag every day!
  8. Meal prepping is awesome & leads to me living my best life :-)

CHRIST IS EVERYTHING

The JOY of Easter weekend: Sometimes, life is rough and it's hard to find any joy or peace. With all the chaos of the world, and especially during such glorious times of the year as this Easter weekend, it's important to remember what matters most - CHRIST. In my opinion, Easter is the happiest holiday. It's three day after Christ hung on the cross and three days after he knelt in the Garden of Gethsemane, and took upon himself all the sins and pain of the world. Imagine experiencing all of your personal failures and hardships and pains throughout your whole life in one moment, and then multiplying that by every single person who will and has lived. Christ WILLINGLY suffered for each of us, so that we don't have to. Easter is the joyous day that Jesus Christ rose up and was alive again, and made it possible for us to do the same one day.  Three of my favorite resurrection/Easter scriptures: 1 Cor 15:20-22 - "But now is Christ risen from the dead,...

Alma

11/16 Alma 1: read in temple Alma 2: read in temple Alma 3: read in temple 11/17: Alma 4: Year 6 of judged: Peaceful, but sad for lost -- Year 7: baptisms -- Year 8: contention & pride -- Year 9: trying to calm contentions Alma 5: Alma the younger testifies and recounts his father's story - repent! - the holy ghost reveals much - stop being so prideful! 17 Or do ye a imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and b say —Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you? 18 Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt, yea, a perfect a remembrance of all your wickedness, yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God? 19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? I say unto you, can you look up, having the a im...

1 Nephi (9/9-9/28)

Here's some thoughts about 1 Nephi :-) 9/9/19:  Chapter 1 - Nephi is such a good dude. He was born to good, righteous parents and despite his trials and brothers picking on him, he still has a stronger testimony than I'll ever have. (1 Nephi 20)  9/10/19:  Chapter 2 - What kind of faith did Lehi have to have to leave everything but his family, and take off to live in the wilderness? Murmuring cannot coexist with truly knowing God. 9/11/19:  Chapter 3 - Again, what kind of faith did Nephi have to just say, I will go and do whatever is needed because I know the Lord will always be there for me. Even after being chased out of the kingdom? Dang boy 9/12/19:  Chapter 4 - Nephi is such a good missionary. He followed the holy ghost to kill Laban and get the plates and then listened to that holy ghost to convince Zoram to join him and his brothers. What a guy. 9/13/19:  Chapter 5 - I think Sariah gets a bad rap at this point. The way I'v...
