Welcome to my blog!

This is the first blog that I have ever made, I think it's kind of fun! It is the beginning of a new year and I want to start things of right. My new years resolution is to become more Christ-like. So far, it is going great! I came across a scripture the other night I found in the Book of Mormon ( http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng). In 3 Nephi 12:6 it reads, "And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost." This impressed me because I have really been trying to feel the spirit more in my life and for some reason this scripture hit me so hard. It is such a simple concept with such incredible power! Christ is the epitome of righteousness. Applying this to my life each day has made a huge difference. Personally, I feel like when we earnestly keep the commandments we are happy people, but when we don't we are not as happy. It is just that simple, you do what is right and you will be happy. Granted, it is not easy to always so the right thing but I testify that when we earnestly try doing the right thing our Father in Heaven notices and will pour out His blessings on us. I hope we can all strive to be more Christ-like this year!
