Marissa's 10 Things: April 2011

Practicum Project

Elder Maxwell taught, "Deeds not words - and becoming, not describing, are dominant in true discipleship... Otherwise we may be doctrinally rich but end up developmentally poor"

As part of the class, there will be a Practicum Project that helps you deepen your individual discipleship. The project will consist of identifying 10 topics that re important issues facing you at this time in your life. For each topic identified you will collect 10-15 statements, of counsel and words of divine wisdom, from the living prophets. These are statements that help you better understand what the Lord and His servants know concerning the identified issue, as well as possible ways you can more fully submit to God's mind and will.

My Focus...

For this Practicum Project we were asked to pick one topic and work on improving it throughout the semester. I have chosen to focus on moving forward with my life and not looking back - to be decisive. I personally struggle with this topic more than anything else. I always worry about the future and wonder if I'm moving in the direction that I'm supposed to. In my patriarchal blessing it states, "...you will not be intimidated if you will be determined to move forward without fear..."

I'm a pretty bold person. I've made it far in my life, and i credit that to the Lord and his blessing that I won't be intimidated if I'm determined to move forward without fear...
