Fireside with Sister Beck

Sister Beck from the General authority came to visit our stake last week; so Johnny and I had a chance to visit her at the special fireside.  She is so sweet, so awesome and so spiritual!  We even had the opportunity to chat with her for a little bit after the fireside.  I felt great around her presence!!!

Here are a few things that I learned from her that evening:

Lesson 1: All answers pertaining our life can be found in the scriptures.

It was impressive to me how Sister Beck answers all questions from the audience using her scriptures.  The scriptures taught us true principals.  There is power in it; and it will be beneficial to our lives if we study it everyday.  

Lesson 2: Promise to study daily.

Sister Beck shared with us that some point in her life, she made a promised to the Lord that she would "spend some time reading the scripture everyday".  At first, I thought it would be a challenge for me.  But then, she said that some days we might read 5 mins, other days we read a few chapters, or at times might be even 5 verses... but the goal is to  read it everyday.  

Lesson 3: Maintaining the spirit while raising our children..... again through the companionship of the holy spirit.  

One of her excellent talks in 2007 tilted "Mothers Who Know" gives a full insight on the role of motherhood in our days.
