Over lunch today I got a head-start on my reading and got a good look at Nephi 1-4. I’m thinking, ‘o.k. this is a little weird, but not contrary to the scripture I’m familiar with.’ I did not read anything that denied that Jesus was the Christ.
I’ll study the reading in some more depth in the morning, but I think that, in a spiritual sense, I’d rather be more like Nephi than any of his brothers. Nephi was obedient and trusted in God. I’d like to be more like that.
If my family finds out that I’m even looking at the Book of Mormon, they are going to think I’m totally insane. Honestly, I’m think I’m crazy for doing this in one sense, but if it really is from God, I don’t want to miss out on the blessing it may bring me. If it is a false testimony, I have nothing to fear because God will protect me from being deceived. This is a win-win, or a no-loose situation for me spiritually.
It’s a couple house past my lunch and, I’m not as hungry or thirsty as I was earlier. That is weird. This morning, I didn’t know how I was going to make it through this fast. Now, I don’t feel bad at all. Obviously God is sustaining me through this. I really love Jesus.
