March is one of my favorite months of the year. Why you may ask...because of March Madness of course. My March Madness isn't the basketball type of March Madness that everyone knows of. Every March for the past few years I have come up with my own March Madness and that is to read the Book of Mormon in the month of March. I started this years ago when my Relief Society challenged us to become more dedicated to the Book of Mormon. March Madness helps me to give March up to my Savior.
Reading the Book of Mormon in a month isn't an easy thing to do. Everyday you have to read about 17 pages, including all the regular things, like school, work and still trying to have a social life. In order for me to read this much everyday somethings must be given up. For me I have decided to give up social media. Instead of scrolling through my Facebook feed I pull out my Book of Mormon or instead of watching another TV episode I pull out my Book of Mormon.
My testimony of my Savior and his hand in my life has already once again grown so much and its only day 7 of the month. I am so grateful for my Savior and all that he has done for me. Also I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and the power that comes into our lives when we make it apart of our lives.
Wow! That is a super cool idea! I should introduce this to my family instead of the competitive brackets. This is great especially in time for Conference. Thanks for this post, I have been feeling I need to change how I read the Book of Mormon lately.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea i love this! I am always interested in different ways to read! Thanks for your post!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm actually considering doing this for a month during the summer, now that I've missed a third of March! I can see how this would simplify and strengthen my life too. Thanks for the idea!
