As an lds, we have unique standards and laws for it. The common ones are the law of tithing, the law of chastity (for sexual purity) and the word of wisdom (for physical health).
I'm terrible at keeping up with the word of wisdom because i once was addicted to tea. It's a rough transition and my inner cravings are not buying it. There are times my mind would drift to a nice hot tea and its organic aroma.
I've gotten better at the transition but what I really like about this is my becoming.
If you don't know it yet, I think everyone's confused at how "the lord looketh at the heart". I've been there too. But it was only these past few months that I've learned that what it meant was our becoming.
Our accomplishments don't matter. Noah didn't go to heaven because he was called as prophet of God. He was still a human with human traits, meaning he had sins and was transformed. He had a transition as well. He was welcomed at heaven because of what he's become.
We all have our transitions. And the best thing about transitions is our becoming.
So the next time you go out there, feeling claustrophobic and frustrated with your problems, maybe it isn't so bad. Maybe it's a transition undercover :)
Or maybe you've won the lottery or suddenly learned all the secrets of the universe, let's be aware of who we're becoming.
At the end of the day, religions don't matter. The Lord looketh on the heart. It's our becoming that matters.
Hey everyone! I'm sorry if I haven't been around here since God knows when.
I've had a transition myself and it isn't so evident.
It's crazy how we think our lives are so organized with schedules and to-do lists but self-recreation still exists during that time we feel we're secured.
I've had many encounters like this.
I feel like I've put my life altogether perfectly. Schedule in lined with my tasks and to-dos. Still, self-recreation hits me.
We had to take that call sometimes. It's for the best.
If you ever feel like something's wrong even though you already have it altogether, it's probably our souls speaking, saying he/she needs reevaluation :)
Take a break and don't feel bad about it. Like sleep, we all need to rest. It's a good reminder of how human we are. We still get tired no matter how much expertise we have in life.
I hope everyone's living up to their bests. Keep smiling :)
