Scripture study related to hunting???....Um NO!!

So Corey and I have a goal to read the entire Book of Mormon by Christmas!!! Yes I know that sounds crazy, I mean come on 10 pages in the scriptures a day, seriously?? Well yes and to be completely honest it hasn't been bad. It has been a great experience so far and even better that we get to do it together. So when I have my many questions, which I usually do, my amazing husband is there to help me out and to explain things to me. Now it is amazing to me however, that every single time we start reading Corey is suddenly tired haha oh and surprise most of the time i'm the one doing the reading, oh and surprise #2 my husband is now sleeping while I'm reading!! Thanks Love!! haha No, no I'm exaggerating (a little (really)) So last night as we are doing our scripture reading in 1 Nephi, it is Corey's turn to read and this is how he starts out "and it came to pass that they took their guns and went into the forests...." I totally believed it until the "guns" part. As we continue Corey comes across this scripture....."And it came to pass that we did take our bows and our arrows, and go forth into the wilderness to slay food for our families........we did pitch our tents for the space of time, that we might again rest ourselves and obtain food for our families" Of course this excited Corey and his reply "see babe I need to go hunting more so that I can get food for our family!" Yea nice try my dear sweet sweet Corey! Only my husband would get that out of our scripture reading. He is truly one of a kind, but I do love him more than anything!! Although we do have fun reading our scriptures, there are lots of things that have stood out to me while reading. The fact that the lord is so forgiving is absolutely amazing, the love that he must have for all of us to continue to forgive us is seriously so incredible to me. No matter how many times Laman and Lemuel go against Lehi, Nephi, and even the Lord, he still forgives them. The thing that has stood out the most to me thus far however is in 1 Nephi 15:8 when Nephi says "And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?" It made me think do i "inquire" of the lord? Or do I just try to do everything myself? Do I go to the lord enough?? I think as humans we sometimes think that we are invincible and can do everything on our own and the truth is that we can't. Like Corey said to me the other night "we can do anything with the help of the lord and with the lord on our side" That statement is so true and I have never doubted it, but I know that I am not perfect and I forget this sometimes. There are days when I feel so over whelmed and think to myself that life couldn't be any harder. It is days like these that I need the lord the most and is when I need to and do turn to him. I am so grateful for the gospel and for the knowledge which it gives me. It truly is such a great blessing in my families life and especially mine! I can't even imagine where my family or I would be without it. My family has been through a good amount of trials in our lives, even very recently, but I can honestly say that through the gospel and the love of our lord and savior Jesus Christ and through family that we have made it through it and have been blessed and made stronger!
