Today during my personal reading of the Book of Mormon, I had an inspiration. What if during the year 2012, I read the Book of Mormon once each month, and what if every month, I had a focus for my reading? The idea timed out too perfectly to ignore, 12 months, 12 times, in the year 2012. As I continued to read I thought of a list of topics that I would focus on, one each month. Then I thought, "Imagine how my life will change and how much my testimony will grow as I become farmiliar with the Book of Mormon!" Only a few moments after I decided to do this for myself, I came across this scripture in 2 Nephi 11:8. (This scripture is speaking spicifically of the words of Isiah, but I would propose that it applies to all scriptures and words of the Lord that we have recieved.)
"And now I write some of the words of Isaiah, that whoso of my people shall see these words may lift up their hearts and rejoice for all men. Now these are the words, and ye may liken them unto you and unto all men."
I realized that I should share this idea with others, not to force anyone to do it, but to invite anyone who would like to to read alongside me. I also decided to start this blog, so we can share our inspiration and findings with one another throughout this year.
More information about what we'll study and when, as well as information about how to prepare for this great journey is soon to come! :D
