Got to love have like 8 chapters to read for HW
so now that its after my bed time I did just finsh my BOM hw. started reading at 9:30 and now finshed writing the instight. we had to read Alma 43-51 and well that much reading ... kinda loses the meaning by the end. but i did read it all, dont know how much of the end i comprehened .. but I had just rencetly read it so i know whats going on. but one of my favorite stories in Alma is that of Amalickiah and so that is what i did my inshight on. to me Amalickiah is the devil and the nephites are us. this story always reminds me that there is a way through everything even satan grasp.
Name: Erin Christina Elliott Rel. 122 Section: 25 Word Count: 707 Date: Jan. 26, 2009
1) What is the reference of the insight?
Alma 47:10-35; 48:11-13; 17-18; 49:10-11; 18-23; 50:1-12; 18-20
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
The effects the devil can have over us and what we have to do to overcome him
3) What message for improvement is taught?
Amalickiah is like the Devil, like Satan who works on us every day, and the Nephites are us. 3 times he called unto Lehonti to come down to talk with him and 3 times he got turned down. Just like Satan never gives up and tries any and all ways so did Amalickiah. He tricked Lehonti into a false sense of security by telling him to bring his guards with him and then tricked him in to doing his will and doing what he needed to be done in his plan. Satan doesn’t keep promises, he uses us to get what he wants, just as Amalickiah wanted the kingdom, once he had what he wanted from Lehonti he killed him, Satan doesn’t care as long as you follow him and do his bidding. Once you do what Satan wants he turns his back on you and takes everything you have. He doesn’t care about what happens to you, Amalickiah didn’t care about the blood of his people, he just wanted to rule everything. We need to be like Moroni, who was one of the greatest heroes, and be men of God, and the devil shall never shake us. To dig a ditch and build up a strong fortress to keep Satan out of our lives, as the Nephites did to keep the Lamanites out. Don’t let him enter, destroy him as he tries to enter, give him no chance to make you give up and give in, stand strong against his attack and take the power to take him on and you have power over him not the other way around. As long as you follow the Lord you will be blessed and you will be able to withstand Satan and his attacks.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
So obviously when I read though these chapters I see Amalickiah as the Devil. I need to withstand him. He never gives up and never gives in. I do get scared sometimes, it feels like he has all control over me or that I can’t fight him off. I love the chapters and parts that I picked out because they give me strength. I know how to fight off Satan and his temptations. I need to get rid of him before he enters my heart. I need to always have a prayer in my heart and to always trust in the Lord and I will be protected. Recently I was struggling, and for a moment I questioned to Lord and at that moment I let my guard down, I filled in my ditch and let my wall crumble and Satan entered into my heart and took control. I questioned my testimony as a whole, and it was the worst and most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I didn’t want to be thinking those things but I had let Satan into my heart and my mind and had lost the battle. I am lucky for the power of the priesthood, a friend came over right after this had happened and gave me a blessing, and the spirit was so strong in the room that Satan had no room to stay. I fell to my knees that night and told the Lord I would never let that happen again, how sorry I was for doubting him and I will never let that happen again. My life has been forever devoted to my Lord. I will keep my walls built up strong; destroy the Devil before he has the chance to enter into my strong hold. I will be like Moroni and never let the Devil shake me and I will stand with the men of God. I will no longer ever give Satan a chance to enter into my heart. I will follow God and keep that prayer with me so that I can be protected and not have to fall to Satan ever again.
so now i am off to finsh getting ready for bed and then praying and passing out!!
tests the next 2 days and got to get up in the morning without snooze buttening it!!

ponder after class
so this isnt excastly what i was going to write yesterday, but it is pretty close to it.
for my communicatioins class we have a blog after each class to do, and we have a topic that we have to write on .. well i just wrote my blog for tusedays class .. and it has pecies of what i wanted to say in my blog yesterday .. but hopefuly this will get the point across
Self-concept is immportent becuase if you lack it then you really dont know who you are then how do you know what you want and if you dont know what you want then how do you communicate that. Self-esteem is kinda the lack of self-concept. Always being down on yourself, and not thinking you are good enough at/for anything.
sitting in class going of this was a bit hard for me to sit there and be told that there really isnt such a thing as self-esteem, as i struggled with issues in high school. I didnt have high self-esteem, and now I am being told there is not such thing as self-esteem. I didnt feel like I was good enough for anything, I look around and see people who are so much better and maybe i need to be more like that person. The scripture D&C 18:10 is the scripture in the Young Woman Personal Progress book under the value of individual worth and there really is not better scripture for that value. Individual worth was my favorite value, and that was my favorite scripture. So when I found myself crying in my room, i would always remember that scripture, it got me through my lowest moments in life, and still does. Knowing that no matter how the world see me or even how I see me, that no matter what, that God sees me as great, that is what pulls me through my darkest hours and coldest nights. Like in 2 Nephi I think it was to not lean on the arm of the flesh and rely on them, for the almighty see us as much greater then they will.
Then the scripte when King Benjamin calls us dirt, well I set my scriptures down and didnt know what to think about that. How can we be of such great worth, but be dirt. We need to be like the dirt. No one is better then anyone else, for we are all great in the eyes of God, but shouldnt try to be greater in the eyes of our fellow man. None of us will be as great as the greatest man who lived, Christ. The scripture is tell us basicly that we need to humble ourselfs, that we need not think any of us are better then anyone else.
If we put these things together, as we are humble in our confidince of ourselfs then the Lord will be with us and help us. In our confidince in ourselfs and knowing what we want, we will be able to get the message we want across to the people we are talking to clearly and understandable
oh and so no one wants to kill me i talked to my mom who yelled at me for not eating so i ate at like 5 and had a bowl of rice chicken and cheese ...

Why I didnt post last night
Last night I didnt get to a post due to hw, but i didnt even get my hw done...
I learned a hard lession last night, that i still believe i am learning.
Im scared that i might be home for a while come april..and i dont want to be. In order to save money i havent bought food since, well, since i got here..and I dont plan on it unless im on my death bed and i have no other choice but to buy food. well to save food last night i was starving myself. I felt miserable and couldnt do anything but lay in my bed and cry. I wasnt just hurting myself physicaly i was hurting mentaly. Kinda like right now my head is pounding and I cant focus on studing becuase i havent eaten in since brakefast (yesterday i at lunch and was skipping dinner.) like i said i havent learned my lession yet.
I am a veary stubern person and wont let people buy me things or pay for me ... so ya i have turned down food. I know i am really supposed to be getting something out of this, but not yet. To accept the help people are giving, but i dont want it, weakness is not something i like to show.
so i am scraping around. around 930 last night i at some wheat thins and cheese, half of an expired yougert, and some mini rice cakes...i finshed off the last bit of those things that i had. i finshed off my milk this morning. and have been out of bread for a week and a half now. oh what i would give for a grilled chicken and cheese sandwhich. i look at my roommates and see how much food they have and it really does make me want to cry. they have such full meals and such, and i have a few potatoes, a few chicken breasts, some ramen and instent oatmeil, and 2 pop tarts and 3 cans of tuna and some rice. when i am alone in my room each night i just cry. i cant afored to buy more food and have been praying and praying for help.
i have made up my mind. i would rather starve then have to go home in april. i can pay for housing, but not tution. thats where the helping comes from ... if people gave me money..i wouldnt buy food, i would save it for school. my mind is made up that i have no other option then starving, and hoping come march or april i can get a job, and pay tuition come april.
i just dont really know what to do anymore....3 more hours till dinner...when i will eat just a small thing of ramen.
i had a good blog for yesterday too ... but i dont know if i will even get to it now.
i should have another post with my BOM hw insight after i do that.

Insight
I had a small trouble trying to decied what to write my insight on ... Alma 40-42 was the assined reading. but I came up with one...I had marked it with a dot next to it and didnt even relize that I had done that.
I says something that means a lot to me. So much more than what I wanted to write in my insight paper, to much info for my teacher to know, but my heart knows the strength of what was said ...
Name: Erin Christina Elliott Rel. 122 Section: 25 Word Count:338 Date: Jan. 26, 2009
1) What is the reference of the insight?
Alma 40:26
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
A piece of the restoration
3) What message for improvement is taught?
“…No unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God…” The scripture teaches everyone about the importance of being clean and doing what we are supposed to do. For when we die in our filth and wickedness we are to be cast out from the kingdom and never get to dwell with our God.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
Those words are so powerful to me. It makes me want to be clean, be a better person, be worthy to inherit the kingdom of God, my right. I look at my life and know that I am not perfect and need to always be striving to be clean, and not just clean to myself, but clean in the sight of God. When the day comes to my final judgment, the last thing I want to happen is to be cast out. I know that my father has high hopes for me. I know this because I am told in my Patriarchal Blessing of things that happen once I have left this earthly state. I know that those blessing are only going to be mine as I follow the commandment and do what I am supposed to do. I strive everyday to be the woman that I know I am meant to be, the person my Heavenly Father knows I am to be. I don’t want to let him down, I want to be that child of God that he sees in me. “…No unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God…” I will forever strive to always be clean so on the last day I will not be cast out but I will welcomed with open arms and receive all that I have been promised and all that I have been blessed with. I will be who I am supposed to be.
Something is not right today..i feel off..my heart just feels heavey and I want to cry. Dont ask me whats wrong because I dont know whats wrong. I really think this money stuff is scaring me to no point, I havent been able to stop the wanting to cry feeling since I cried myself to sleep in prayer last night. I know everything will work out, but the devil is wearing strong, hoping that I will fall and lose all faith in what I believe.

UGG
I spent to much time with friends that I didnt have time to do my reading and Insight paper, I will do that tomorrow, along with hours and hours of other hw, and my idea of handwashing all my clothes in the bath tub with me walking around in it trying to be the mixer thing ... yes this is what I have come down to in the matter of I dont ever have money to wash my clothes, I havent thought through drying yet.
I am so excited for one of my friends up here at school. He has gone through so veary much and turned his life around in the last year. I look at him and see a changed man then the boy I met last Jan. The boy I cried with and held in my arms telling everything would be alright. The boy who couldnt really make up his mind about me, but I stuck by his side as a friend no matter what pain he put me through, my feeling for him passed after try two of dating, but my feelings of compassion, hope, faith, and love/charity never went away -- even when I said I hated him! He had another meeting with the stake president not to long ago, and the answer he got last summer about him never being able to serve a mission has changed into a talking with the general athorities, and maybe even a letter sent into the first presidencey. It is amazing to see how much he has grown, I remember telling him the Lord works in his time, a no now doesnt mean a no forever, if you blessing talks about a mission there will be one sometime in your life. He told me tonight that he still has a letter I worte him months back, I think last summer, no no it had to have been winter becuase of the paper it was writen on -- I remember tearing it out of my Book Of Mormon jurnal -- everytime i see the riped pages in the back I know it was for that latter. He came across it the other day and he told me everytime he reads it he thinks of me and it fills him with comfort. I dont remember what was in the note, all I know is that it came from the heart. He wants to serve a mission so bad, this boy going from not wanting to serve and his past being such a mess and out of controle to now being such a great member of the church and wanting to serve and I can see the light in him, I am so proud of him. It is even better now that we can talk again.
My prayers are with Jared and his meeting on TH with his stake pres. it was hard saying goodbye when I dont know for how long I am saying goodbye for.
I am kinda at a loss for words, didnt really expect to write all that I did write.
I know that through the power of the Lord, all things are possible, a boy who has had a past of many many many screw ups, mistakes, and falling away can be in this spot today, who is so close to hopefuly serving a mission -- the greatest thing any worthy memeber of the church can do. I look up and admire all those who choose to serve missions. I do believe that if you are worthy to serve then you should serve!! Most LDS girls have their minds set .. RM all the way!
The Lord however does work in his own ways and time, as Jared is home, and we dont know what the Lord holds in store for him.
Then I guess there is me, who knows that above anything and everything BYU-I is were I am meant to be, but doesnt know how I am to pay to be here anymore.
I love my Heavenly Father and have given my life to him, to follow him and do all that he has asked me to do.
well it is way past my bed time, so gunna read my scriptures and pray. Didnt at all mean to write all this, but maybe there was a reason for it.

You Never Know
Today after sacriment I turned to my roommate and told her that I wished home wasnt so far away. I wanted to just walk home becuase, well, sunday school was a disapointment to me last week, and I am just way to pickey with how things are tought. I just didnt want to go to the rest of the meeting, but I have a calling the requires me to be at R.S. the whole time, yay music choristor! One of my other roommates told me that on the days that you dont want to be at church are the days that you should be there.
So I went to sunday school. Well, there wasnt going to be a teacher, and I got excited. Not soon after I started celibrating in my head Sam (sunday school president) walked in and saw we didnt have a teacher and said he would teach our class. He left to get something and i quickly pulled out my jurnal and my Book of Mormon and got ready to learn, well to look ready to learn, and well I was happy, Sam is the teacher I love to be in the class room learning from. He is such and amazing teacher. He is so knowlegabul in the scriptures and the gosple, which is one of the reasons I have kinda started to fall for him.
I wanted to participate in class so bad, but because of the past I kept getting scared, but I raised my hand to read a scripture then put in my thoughts on the question Sam asked after that. My heart was pounding so fast. I filled up 3 or 4 pages worth of things he tought and questions he had me ponder on and my feelings on those.
So the lession I learned from my roommate wasnt really I need to learn something, it is more of you dont know who will be teaching, becuase I could miss my oppertunity on learning something.
Dont get to excited, I am still forced aginstmy will to R.S. bc I sitll dont know why but dont like it to much, but did take notes in class.
Well,
I cant think of anything else at this moment, but am doing my Book Of Mormon homework tonight so I will have another post on that.
