Hello!

Scripture of the week is found in 2 Nephi 25:20. It is a long verse, but BEAR WITH IT! It has a most beautiful message-

20 And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err. And as the Lord God liveth[I would like to point out that at this period of time in the Hebrew culture, the most solemn thing you could promise on was that God lived. This is a vERy solemn statement] that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them, and also gave him power that he should smite the rock and the water should come forth; yea, behold I say unto you, [This is my favorite part!!]that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, [There's that promise again] there is none other name [none other] given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved. 

The reason I choose this scripture is because it pulled me out of a reverie. Two nights ago as I was reading my scriptures (but not studying them) I scanned over the words as I thought about the dance practices I had, the lessons and classes, the homework, what my morning would be - and as I hit the last bit of this verse that talks about how Christ is the only one who can and will save us, I stopped. I stopped reading altogether. I pondered that verse. I prayed about it. 

I know that my Savior loves me. I know he is watching over me as I work each day, as I strive to be like him. I want to make him proud. I am so grateful for everything he has done for me, and for the tender mercies he and my Heavenly Father provide as I toil.

I leave my testimony,
