I like to think possitively, As much as possible. So when I started having dreams, and very strong impressions about the Prophets counsel to "make sure all is safely gathered in" I was a little scared. Its a little nerve racking when I read my scriptures before bed and see the prophices made there, being fullfilled on the news every night. I get a little kick in the butt by the spirit when I see my government taking land owners rights away. When I see the more part of the people electing "wicked" officials and laws that take our basic human rights away. The right to take care of ourselves. Food, shelter, water.
I fear cause our country along with our neighbours to the south are following blindly as our leaders piece by piece take away what our soldiers, bothers, fathers, sisters, mothers have fought so hard to keep, and protect.
Everything our countries were founded on is being chipped away by a little bit of legislation here, and a little there. We are now funding peoples sex change opperations, Abortion, partial birth abortions (don't know what that is, look it up); and yet to speak of God or Pro life, or fundamental marriage, prayer, is out lawed in schools and the work place. If you believe in absolutes in this world, you are discriminated against, called narrow minded, and hateful.
It is a sad place we have come too. I don't hate those that believe in the first stated things. I know God loves them as much as he loves me. I just want to protect mine, and my childrens Rights to believe what we will. In the 11th article of faith written to the world by Joseph Smith it states "We claim the priviledge of worshiping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how where or what they may".
With our rights being whittled away, hearing the prophets speak in the last General Conferance, or protecting our children, my fire is lit, and I will not place it under a "Bushel" but here it is to see.
We must fight for our rights to be self sufficient. Our basic freedoms should not be infringed upon. We have been told to get out of debt, to plant gardens, get our food storage, and lay up spiritual strength.
I could go on an list all the things I know how to do to help in case of an emergency, but I wont in this post. This time I think the only thing I would want to give anyone who reads this, is not possible for me to give. But I can beseach you to learn how to reciecve revelation from our all Loving Heavenly Father. Learn how to listen to the being who knows and sees all. then learn to listen and follow.
I know what he has told me I need to do, and Rob and I are going all out to do it. What does he want you to do? What does he have to tell you.
Receiving light and knowledge from Heavenly Father is the only thing that will get us individually through any trial. whether it be death, poverty, mental illness, heart break of any kind. He will point us in the direction we should go. we HAVE to be willing and open to listen.
