As these truths of not
controlling others and expecting a specific outcome are sinking down into my
heart. I’ve been trying to figure out
what this looks like for me as a parent.
In combination with “He did deliver me from bondage”, yesterday I read
in Thomas Jefferson Education, Companion book.
In my home-schooling program, this allowing paradigm is also the
foundation. I am beginning to see what
it means to invite and allow; to gently ask but not force. There is much of the “force” paradigm in
me. I am trying to figure out how to
change my very character to one that invites with love. Maybe this in itself is a life-time pursuit.
The Higher Law
After having read this, I
feel rest assured that there is a time to defend my life and my family. God would surly honor the one who chose as
the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s to prostrate themselves before their enemies. However, for the sake of our children and the
generations that must remain to prepare the earth for the Second Coming of the
Savoir, I have come to settle on ecclesiastics “There is a time to kill and a
time to heal…”
I whole heartedly feel
that we should not have any contempt or anger for others, even if they are
trying to kill us. I believe there is a
time to use words in the war of “principalities and powers”, and that this is
that time. In this last General
Conference, the opening prayer he prayed that the WORD might have a greater
effect on the minds of the people than anything else. I fully agree that this is that time to pull
out all our weapons of faith, hope and love (not of fear, urgency, or anger)
that we may sweep the great and spacious building one last time before it
crashes to the ground like the Twin Towers did on”9-11” . I speak of
the non-violent resistance taught by Gandhi.
Now is not the time to stir up hearts to anger. It is the time to settle and resolve firmly
and surely on the truth; to decide what we can do and do it.
Every living soul born to
the earth at this time has a purpose and reason for being here. It is not coincidence. God had a plan for allowing us to be born
right now in history. It is each of our
responsibility to find out what that purpose is and do it, regardless of what
anyone else may say or do. We are
accountable to God, not man. Let no man
cause thee fear, only what God can do.
