Thank you for these thoughts. They really help me with a personal growth/repentance I am working on.

You’re welcome Aunt Mary! I can’t tell you how poignantly the precepts of each chapter sink deep into my soul and urge me to repent as well. This is a hard journey for me, but a necessary one. And it is freeing my soul from all kinds of burdens I should have let go of a long long time ago. Each one of these posts speaks me guilty of something, but each one also lifts me up and gives me hope that repentance is possible, change is possible – and most importantly that it is necessary!
I hope you’re finding joy in the journey! I know Heavenly Father is pleased and smiling at you and on you for all you’re doing!
