Name: Erin Christina Elliott Rel. 122 Section: 25 Word Count: 374 Date: February 11, 2009
1) What is the reference of the insight?
Helaman 5:12
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
Let Christ be your rock
3) What message for improvement is taught?
We are taught to make Christ our rock, make him the foundation of our lives. So when the winds of Satin blow and his storms hit us, we shall not be moved. “Remember, remember” don’t just remember but to ALWAYS remember, the word is repeated for a reason, it is for us all to read and know of its importance. We are given the promise that if we build upon him as our foundation that we cannot fall.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
The song the wise man and the foolish man popped into my head when I read this. When the rains came down and the floods came up the wise man who built his house upon a rock was untouched, but the foolish man who built his house upon the sand lost everything. This scripture made me stop and think. It made me look over my life and find all in it that I am doing right and that I am doing wrong. Have I been building my house upon the rock of Christ or have I built it in the sand? I think I might have 2 houses, one on a rock and another vacation home on the beach, in the since that I’m not always doing everything I should be and am not always standing on the rock. I don though need to always be on the rock, I need to sale my vacation home and move full time to the rock. I don’t want to lose everything. I need to build my house on a rock, I need to put my life into the Lords hands, and I need to put my life into his will. I falter, I am not perfect, but I strive to be, I want the blessing that is promised in the verse. It brings so much comfort to my heart knowing that Satin will have no power to overcome me and that I will never fall – as long as I build myself upon the rock of Christ.
umm if you read this far .. i dont have something to say .. Ryan called me yesterday, and we talked like nothing had ever happened. we hung up the phone and i just started to cry, i love him so much and have missed him so majorly greatly!
oh and he is engaged and i am getting better at accepting the fact of the person who he is marring..swolling my pride and forgeting the past, bc on the last day i dont think i can use the "but she.." excuse .. she did and who knows if she is facking or being real now but she is trying so you know i will try, who knows a good friendship might come from our "Fakeness" hah!
