Scripture Power!
Yesterday I had the chance to "recharge my spiritual batteries" as I've once heard it called. I'll be honest, waking up at 4:30 every morning has started to take its toll on me and last week I felt really drained and almost numb but yesterday church was wonderful and I had a lot of time for study and reflection and thats all it took to rejuvinate me and get me ready for another week! I LOVE Sundays! Yesterday in one of the girl's testimonies, she talked about the primary song, "scripture power" and that night as I studied I truly felt the power it brought back into me. If only everything could be as clear and simple as primary songs:
Because I want to be like the Savior, and I can,
I’m reading His instructions, I’m following His plan.
Because I want the power His word will give to me,
I’m changing how I live, I’m changing what I’ll be.
[Chorus]Scripture power keeps me safe from sin.
Scripture power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Ev’ryday I need
The power that I get each time I read.
I’ll find the sword of truth in each scripture that I learn.
I’ll take the shield of faith from these pages that I turn.
I’ll wear each vital part of the armor of the Lord,
And fight my daily battles, and win a great reward.
[Chorus]Scripture power keeps me safe from sin.
Scripture power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Ev’ryday I need
The power that I get each time I read.
Everytime I set aside adequate time for reading my scriptures I'm reminded of the promises in this sweet little song!
Because I want to be like the Savior, and I can,
I’m reading His instructions, I’m following His plan.
Because I want the power His word will give to me,
I’m changing how I live, I’m changing what I’ll be.
[Chorus]Scripture power keeps me safe from sin.
Scripture power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Ev’ryday I need
The power that I get each time I read.
I’ll find the sword of truth in each scripture that I learn.
I’ll take the shield of faith from these pages that I turn.
I’ll wear each vital part of the armor of the Lord,
And fight my daily battles, and win a great reward.
[Chorus]Scripture power keeps me safe from sin.
Scripture power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Ev’ryday I need
The power that I get each time I read.
Everytime I set aside adequate time for reading my scriptures I'm reminded of the promises in this sweet little song!

SOAKED on Rattlesnake Rapids
The Narrows
For Memorial Day Weekend a small group of people in my ward camped out for a night and then went to Zion's National Park where we attempted to hike the narrows but freaked out when it started thundering (for fear of flash floods!) so we ended up doing another smaller hike. I enjoyed the part of the Narrows we got to hike though.. here are some pics. The water was freeeeezing!
Before the Hike..

Crossing the FREEZING waters.. Me and Chuck kept tripping and falling. Ha.
